Bichir Biotope

[Catlas Se7en]

So I'm moving my Bichirs into a 180 gallon tank in a few months and want to get set up for a biotope. What plants, gravel/sand, decorations, and tank mates would fit the natural habitat of bichirs?

Nothing to add but following!

What kind of bichirs you have?

1 Ornate, 1 Dehezi, 1 Senegal, 1 Albino Senegal, and 1 Endlicheri. All babies, between 3 and 7 inches each

Albino sen wont make it in the long run with the endli and ornate.

Depends on how accurate of a biotope your looking to accomplish. Some go nuts and want everything as accurate as possible.
