Thanks I've tried getting it looking natural and prehistoric. there's 7 ropes, 4 bichirs and an Africana snake head head in there.

It is very nice i like it takes me to a place called isla sorna or isla nublar

Wow that is amazing love em all its overstock is it usually fine to overstock tank with bichirs i hear its ok

with bichirs the big thing is dedication to water quality which means regular water changes and heavy filtration

Many do twice a week. I do once a month but it's drought and I have an understocked and heavily planted tank

It's clear most of the time except when I turn off the 2 canister filters off to feed and forget to turn them back on till the next morning(oops)

that tank gets
Tilapia every 2-3 days
cichlid gold on days with no tilapia
hikari carnivore pellets on days with tilapia
jumbo mysis shrimp daily
jumbo bloodworms daily
flake food for feeder fish
cucumber in the tank at all time for plecos
nightcrawlers daily for my eels

Heu good diet plan they go buts on tilapia and the sinking pellets ever fed em beef like actual beef or mealworms earthworms

Actual beef would be horrible as food. I'd leave it.

Recently moulted (white) mealworms are good, slightly messy though.
