    What Bichir should I get

    Which of the smaller upper jaws would do best in a 125. I plan for the tank to only have 4-6 fish so I am looking for one with a good personality that doesn't hide all of the time.

    So I bought a one-eyed bichir

    Just got a one-eyed ornate about 7 inches. Didn't notice until I got home. I was thinking of returning it but the one-eye really adds character and now I kinda don't want to. Will this guy grow up normal? Any one kept a one-eyed before, if so, how was it different than normal bichirs? Really...

    Flagtail Prochilodus question

    So I'm planning on getting a semaprochilodus taeniurus. I'm currently iffy about it now because of what I read about them. Do they really turn to savage slime coat suckers?
