    So I got a Delhezi bichir recently he’s like 6 inches now in a 150 gallon tank with an Oscar and parrots since all these fish are quite messy I wanna get a Pleco as I like them in general and blue phantoms look cool.

    Saddleback bichir

    Was wondering if anyone knows if a saddleback bichir molts. I found a molted head in my 180 tank, which I'm assuming it's from my saddleback. It's housed along with 2 Senegals and 2 ropefish. Attached are photos of it. Feels hard when using my long tweezers to pull it out of the water

    Bichir tail. Stress? Aggression? Fin rot?

    As you can see in the photo I had him in a tank a year ago and moved him into a different one. I noticed the end of his tail is whiter and shorter. I found an old photo from a year ago and its quite a bit different.

    Senegal w/out movement control, labored breathing

    One of my bichirs started displaying lethargy about 2 weeks ago. I moved him to a qt tank, and it became clear that his back half wasn't moving correctly. He's a touch pinker around the head than usual, but no threading on fins. Other inhabitants in his tank (another Senegal and a leopard...

    Bichir bump near anal fin

    Hey y'all, I noticed today that my 15 inch WC Nigerian lapradei bichir had a weird bump on the right side near its anal fin. Any thoughts on what this is and whether its a cause for concern? Should I treat the tank or keep up water changes and ride it out? Thanks, Ray

    What’s up y’all. I’m currently looking for one more tank beast to be tank mates with my 7 inch Senegal Bichir and 4 inch African ctenompma bush fish. Any suggestions? I originally wanted to do a flowerhorn but it probably not worth it and don’t want my two boys attacked. I like unique...

    Senegal Bichir Broken Back?

    Hi, I haven’t been posting in quite a while, but I have a Senegal Bichir in a 90g tank with a couple other bichirs. I found him at the surface looking like this. This is very recent, happened in the last 24 hours. Is there anything I can do? Do I have to euthanise?

    Bichir tank sizes plus little more

    Hey y’all. Currently I have a 37 gallon tank but will be upgrading in about 2 months. I have 2 clouded archers and a Senegal bichicr. I was wondering if a 55 gallon would be good for life for them and possibly adding a Delhezi later on Once I have the tank. It would be 48 inches in length.

    Keeping a pair of bichirs?

    Hi all, question regarding bichirs. Currently have a 15 inch female Nigerian lapradei. Would it be a bad idea to add another 8 inch male lapradei? They would be the only bichir in the tank. Always wanted to breed these prehistoric fish and wanted y’all thoughts on compatibility. Any input is...
