bichir

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.

Hey all, So recently purchased 2 new fish and they just came in today. The first is a 4-5 inch lapradei bichir (looks wild caught nigerian but correct me if I’m wrong) and the second is a 2-3 inch fire eel. The bichir is currently in a 5 gallon quarantine tank and the fire eel into my 10 gallon...

Hi All, One of the local fish stores near me listed this as a PBB bichir. Can someone verify this? Looks like a normal lapradei to me butany insight is appreciated! Cheers, Ray

Hi all, Have a good 40g grow out tank for my sen, she's about 4.5 inches. Parameters. Ammonia Nitrate pH 0ppm 5-10ppm 7.5 Tank is planted with anubias/java and tank mates are 1-inch green terror and firemouth. Was just curious how often your bichirs do this? Of course she does it...

Hi guys! First time posting and I’m looking for advice on my tank. I currently have a 150 gallon that houses 3 bichirs that are all the same size (between 6 and 7 as I got them all at the same time. Two of them are saddled bichirs and one is a platinum Senegal. I also have four rope fish all...

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...

What are these black spots in lines on my bichir? He has 2 rows of these black spots. I have had him for 5 years and i dont think i have ever seen this. Should i worry or is it just normal ?

Hello my senegal is in a hunger strike for already a week. He does look fat and i see a red spot on his belly. Could it be septicemia / blood poisoning? I feed tilapia, hikari and sometimes meelworms and crickets. He appears to be more at the surface of the tank. Sometimes even laying half on...

From what I understand, the moment you put a kuhili with a bichir it’s as good as spaghetti. I’m not about to try it for myself, but I’m curious if there’s a single person here who was brave enough to try and found success. Love to hear, thanks!

I recently read that ornate bichirs can live in brackish and even saltwater. Anyone know if that's true?

I am looking for larger leopard ctenopoma, and possibly a school of larger filaments or roselines. Thanks

Hello, I am planning a Polypterus sp. tank and going for all upper jaw species. I was wondering if these species/subspecies would all work out together. The only bichir I had experience with is a P. ornatipinnis a few years ago that dropped dead one day, possibly choking on a plasic piece of a...

Hello, I was planning on adding fish to either my empty (2'x2'x9') or (2'x2'x7'), maybe the latter. But I'm not super familiar with cichlids, but liked the earth eater cichlids for a tank primarily for upper jaw bichir around 13-15". The temperature I was thinking between 24-26C (75-78F). The...

I’ve been tempted to get more dels but am concerned about aggression. I currently have a 4.5” delhezi in a 125 gallon tank filled about halfway. The actual volume of water that’s currently in the tank is 40 gallons. I like the look so would like to keep it filled halfway permanently. I have 3...
