bichir

When I bought my endlicheri, I'd been eyeing bichirs for a while. My LFS had senegals, baby ornates, albino senegals, delhezi, and, of course, endlicheri in stock. I loved the look of the endlicheri species; I guess I liked the look of lower jaw species. The ones visibly for sale were selling...

I took these at my LFS; they are all on my list for my future upgraded tank. What kind of bichirs are these? The name started with an E.

I know I've been told that I shouldn't add any more fish to my current stock (a juvenile peacock bass, small Clown knifefish, small pleco, smallish black ear pangasius) but I would like a bichir as well. This won't be my first time; I had a dinosaur bichir in my old tank who had quite a...

I have a leopard bush fish and a geophagus braziliasus that are prob close to 2 inches in a 20 long to grow out. I would like to put then in a 75 so I can start to redo the 20. My main concern is my 7-8 inch delhezi, iv never seen him be aggressive but that doesn't mean he wont. I also have a 6...

Hi guys so as you guys might have guessed, I am new and this is my second thread :) The first thread i asked you guys if buying this lap was worth it for 50 and many of you said yes. So, I bought it and actually was able to get a 9.5 inch (not 13 inch) for 40 bucks... I will post pictures...

First hi, new to the community here. And well I just got the little guy two days ago from Petsmart after moving Koi and goldfish to a pond awhile ago and done a bit of research after wanting one of these guys for over a year but curious if small gravel for his tank is fine or if I have to change...

Picked up a small 1.5 inch delhezi yesterday and I noticed today that he just floats at the top, he doesn't seem to be moving one of his fins and that makes it to where he swims like a fish outa water, any ideas?

Well don't actually guess, I want you to tell me what species of Bichir this is and give me a good reason to why you think that (besides "it just looks like it.") Be descriptive! Think of features, markings, shape, colour etc. this will help you when it comes to identifying Bichirs :) If it...

As many of you know, hobbyist breeding Bichirs can be difficult, but raising them can be even harder. I hope this thread can be a collection of information on breeding requirements for them. How do you sex them? Males have a wide, muscular/fat anal fin and sometimes a pointed tailfin tip...

In 2010 there were some changes to Bichir literature not many people have been aware of. The following are described species only. The giant variant of P. senegalus has now been described as a new species, a subspecies to P. senegalus, forming the Senegalus complex. Both are now: Polypterus...
