bichir

Hi MFKers I already had the first trys getting my poly pack used to hand feeding...but until now i only had success, if i put my hand lower then the half of the tank...but i would like to feed them near the surface (no wet arm every time^^). Has anyone of you experience in getting bichirs used...

Picked up a 265g the other day, 7'x2'x2', going to be housing some bichirs, a florida gar, a lima shovelnose, a female parachromis motaguense, and possibly a spiny eel, something like a dayi. Could a red wolf fit into this mix? Red wolf would end up being the smallest fish in the tank, and most...

Hello MFK, Keeping Delhezi Bichirs has been a very big Wish of mine for the last few years. I prepared a long time , before buying my first two Dels this February (i often read that it's easy to gender polys). They were both worm-size (~2"). Becaus i wasn't shure if they'r male or femal i...

I call him as "ROYAL TIGER" <3

Just got a 90g bow front and I want to get a Bichir or two but I need some suggestions for tank mates. Also can I put different kinds of Bichir together?

The other day I discovered one of my fish belly up on the bottom. Quite a shock as it was behaving normally the night before. The only change to my usual routine is treatment with levimasole recently due to seeing a bunch of white stringy poop in the tank. I don’t have a microscope so examining...

We are about to build a 750 gallon monster tank. It will be 10 feet long, 4 feet deep and 30 inches high as planned. Acrylic if we can swing it. Glass is too heavy and the risk of breakage spooks us. I could use a bit of help with part of the stocking. We already have most of the fish...

Pet store said fathead. (Weeksii) But also had ansorgii and lapradai in the same tank. I think it is one of the later two. Doesn't look like a fathead to me. But maybe I'm wrong. Or maybe its something else entirely. Sorry for spelling and not great pictures. It does have the little tufts on...

Ansorgi X Lepradei 11+ Inches in size The Biggest #Hybrid Bichir up to now with me

Hey guys, I recently purchased a Lapradei bichir from my LFS. It is severely underweight, but eating. I've had it for two days but it is breathing extremely awkwardly, and I have kept multiple bichirs to raise them up but I have never had one like this. My params are all normal, PH 7.4, temp is...

Hey guys, I'm trying to help my brother come up with ideas for tankmates for his Dinosaur bichir. He's setting up a 90-gallon fish tank and has a 3" juvenile dinosaur bichir. i was thinking of maybe one Vieja synspila, but he doesn't like how they look. Does anybody have any ideas on who we can...

So, I've had this red oscar for a few months. Since around the beginning of December. This dude was a beast of a fish. He was a juvenile. He has lived through an ich infestation, lived in a tank while it was being cycled, and has outlived two other juvenile tiger Oscars. He's never shown any...

My long finned oscar has damage to his right fin. Sorry best picture I could get. Just did a water change. Conditions are all optimal. He has energy and appetite but is very pale. I dosed with pimafix as it looked to me like possible fungal infection. Not sure the cause but possibly my Bichir...
