bichir

Hi everyone its me again. I have not been on MFK for a year, but I'm back because of my bichir. She has been with me for a year and a half now and after everything I've tried, such as general cure, salt, and high temps, she is still quite skinny and eats very little. She hasnt grown much in the...

Hi guyz!! Can someone please help me ID my Endlicheri? Is it CB or WC? Size is around 17 inches Currently in a temporary grow-out tank.

Hey, I generally had an endlich but now I have a group of polypterus that I really like them. I will update their video/photo that I can do; https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YM7rSRKxsc0iRz43jZGC7MJGQ3IMfnt7/view?usp=drivesdk or (low quality) 28 cm endlich is with me for almost 6 months...

Hey guys, This is my first adventure into the world of MFK! Have been in and out of the hobby for the better part of two decades. I just picked up two Senegal bichirs about 5" each. In the process of getting their 75 gallon but in the meantime I have them in my 55 gallon community tank with...

Does anyone know how long it takes for a tiny fry newborn bichir to reach around 3 inches? if specifics are needed, I am wondering about the albino bichir. Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon! (Or morning, or night) First post here. Quick back ground, most of my experience is with koi and goldfish. Between the ponds I own and the neighborhood ponds that I help maintain and advise, I’ve been taking care of about ten koi ranging from 23” to 34”, and more goldfish...

So I can find plenty of sources on how big a Delhezi Bichir will grown LONG. But I’m trying to build hides into their final tank that will be less than adjustable/moveable. I know these boys can hit around 14-18” long, I’m curious as to what diameter of PVC pipe won’t squish them in their adult...

Here is a video of my bichir tank and a picture of my newest bichir.

Hey guys, I've posted about my Delhezi being standoffish before and the problem was slightly alleviated when I added more bichirs to the tank (she was just housed with the albino senegal before, now there are two additional senegals, both smaller than her), but now she seems back to sulking. She...

Yeah, it's dumb, but a nerd gotta nerd.

My LFS had "$5 for the crooked one" written on their Bichir tank, and when I looked I saw this little guy in there just living his life. He was actually the most active one... so basically my heart melted and I brought him home. He gets along fine with my other bichirs, has a healthy appetite...

Is there any hope for bichirs who swallowed a piece of gravel? I purchased a 5 inch albino bichir from the fish store that kept it on gravel and didn't notice that it's had a lump on its stomach that won't go away. Is there any chance the gravel will pass through or can the bichir live a normal...

I have a juvenile Senegal Bichir (about 4in) that I have had less than a month. I have him in a 45gal tank with a Delhezi bichir of the same size. I was having trouble getting my Del to eat, and my Sen would end up eating his food AND half of hers. Now his back half is floating up awkwardly and...

Hello, I've had a Senegal bichir for about 2 years in an aquarium with about 80 gallons of water. It's about 8 inches now. It has shown no aggression/predation of a variety of community fish, including small Corydoras. I have been growing up an albino sen for a couple months now, and today put...

I have a 14 inch Endlicheri Bichir for sale. Pick up only, located in central Oklahoma, near I-35. Asking $75obo. Mostly wanting her (not positive its a female) to go to a good home, with a large enough tank, and with a competent tank keeper. We've had her for 4 years, she will eat pellets or...

I'm going to be moving some fish to their semi-permanent home soon(it's a massive 300 gallon tote, huge score at $200, while I save up for an actual tank which is why it's semi) and want to have all intended inhabitants quarantined and good to go so I can add them all at once and not have to...

Hi! Im new to this forum and I need some help. I have a roughly 4 inch ornate bichir that I named "L", for the reason that his back is so poorly kinked that he looks like a swimming L. I'd saw him at my LFS for about three months before his price dropped and I couldn't help myself. I have a...

Hi here's my new baby Bichir (~4.5 inches) I picked up yesterday from my LFS, a new monster fish shop that's recently opened up on the island. It's my first Bichir (so likely will be asking a question or two:) First and foremost, can anyone help ID him? I've looked at hundreds of species pix and...

Guyz, This is my Endlicheri pair. one is 12 inches and the other is around 14 inches. What are your opinions on my fish? :D Link -
