bichir

Hey everyone- I am brand new to this forum as a member goes but have been viewing it as a guest for the past year or so. A year ago I got back into the aquarium hobby and wound up getting an albino sengal bichir after instantly falling in love with him at my LFS. He (i think its a he) is...

Hey guys! I bought 2 18~20cm delhezi polys to go w/ my blood parrot pair, and so far, they're doing great. I've noticed a patch of weird looking things that look like sand. I'm guessing that its actually sand stuck to their slime coat? (i'll upload a picture later on) I just want some answers...

Any thoughts on keeping more than one Bichir in the same tank? I'm planning a 240g (96x24x25") and was hoping to keep an Ornate and Delhezi together. Is it possible? Any tips for long term success or should I avoid mixing and just get one? Also, could they live long term with a black ghost...

Looking for an ID for this poly of mine. I have my thoughts but am more interested in everyone else's take. I got it from an LFS at 3" about a years ago. Sold as an endli. Its about 12-13" now. Thanks!

I know this has been asked already, but I wanted some fresh opinions. Could a senegal bichir do well with maybe an elephant nose, african brown knife, or african cichlids? Please answer!

Hey y'all. I might get a senegal bichir so I wanted to know what they are like. Do they handfeed? Do they like to be pet? Will they follow you in the tank? Please tell me!

Hey y'all. Soon I'm going to get a black ghost knife and I wanted to know if a senegal bichir and a bgk could get along. I love them and would love to keep both, but I'm only allowed one tank. So, please tell me how they do together.

Hi, since about a half year im totally into bichir. Got some Delhezi, Senugales, Ornate, Endlicheri, Lapradei, and Palmas B. Devided into 3 tanks. I'm having a bit of a Pokémon pollacy: gotta catch em all! All jokes aside; i lost 4 of them in the last 2 weeks. Symptons where all the same...

Hey guys! So I just recently moved and set up my 400gallon tank in my new home. It’s 8 foot wide 2 foot 3 deep and 2 foot tall.. and succefully moved all my fish from the 120gal... I dropped a bichir but he’s fine :o . I transferred the canister with them and slowly acclimated them so the tank...

Excuse the length ><. I just recently got into the hobby, and I started with basic stuff, a simple 10 gallon with some cory's . The goal was to get into aquascaping and just have life that helped maintain the tank... & then I saw my first bichir. Bought her, and immediately bought a 40 gallon...

Hey Everyone, You guys have been great to me and I genuinely appreciate all the love! We're nearly sold out of everything! Here are a few things left over.. We can ship FedEx/UPS to most of the east coast for 50 to 75 bucks. All other areas should use Air Cargo to save on costs. Orders of...

Hey all, I have a 5 inch Senegal Bichir that has a nostril that looks like it is decaying compared to the other one. Any idea what’s wrong? He jumped into the filtration compartment in the back a while ago and I’m not sure if he injured it then or not.

Enjoy guys, I felt artsy! These are a few of my mini monsters getting fattened up. Only one missing is my ornate and regular sen.

Hi :) Just signed up and thought I'd share my latest fish I got 2 days ago. This is not a MonsterFish per se, it's tank mate's with a pair of P.senegalus, hope P.Sene fall into MF category otherwise I'll need another forum. :p Hope you enjoy.

So I ordered a Reedfish over the weekend. It arrives Thursday. It's about 11 inches long. I have two tanks it can go in. It can go with my baby Bichirs (3 inch Senegal, 5.5 inch Albino Senegal, 6 inch Ornate, 5 inch Endli) or my Oddball tank (7 inch Alligator Gar ((Being Donated to local...

I think I may have found some eggs in my 40 gallon tank. But the only pairs I have in the tank are bichirs and blood parrots. They look like little white clusters on the glass. There are three clusters. Could the be eggs or something else?

I have a 2.5" Senegal, 4.5" Albino Senegal, 5" Ornate, and a new baby Endlicheri of unknown size (it arrives tomorrow). When I go to pick it up, I was thinking of either getting a 4" BGK or a species of Pleco. Is the Pleco compatitble if it's the same size or bigger? If not, should I get the BGK?

Hey all, My dad's giving me his old 75g and I'm fairly new to the fish scene. Now, I really want Senegals, like really bad, but I've searched around and asked friends and I keep getting different responses on whether or not I can keep some in my 75g. I understand there's a lot of variables...
