    Rope fish with P. Endlicheri?

    I'm wanting to keep a couple ropefish with my 11 inch endlicheri Bichir but concerned he'll try to eat them. He tried to eat my 5 inch Senegal twice. I'm worried my Endli is extra aggressive and would kill even a full grown ropefish, but I see other people keep them together. I'm relatively new...

    Bichir id? Nile bichi or Lapradei?

    Hi! Just saw these bichirs listed as senegals for $6 and am pretty sure they arent senegals. What are they? They look lapradei to me but the upper jaw seems more pronounced than the lower jaw? Any id would be helpful thanks!

I had in that...

    Injured clown knife fish

    So my 6” clown knife, Gonzo, got attacked by my Senegal bichir and is now missing a good chunk of his tail but he’s swimming fine, still has an appetite, but he lost some energy. Is his tail going to grow back? I attached a picture.
