bichir

I have a massive collection of lower jaw polys. I'm keeping my very best but have a lot of "ordinary" ones or multiples of the same locale I'm looking to move. This includes mostly Endlicheri and var. sp of Lapradei. I will post pictures ASAP. 20+ available These are all large (12-20"). I do...

I am looking for truly giant bichirs my biggest currently is a 25" endlicheri but I have a couple 28" ones on the way and would like to break the 40" mark eventually(yes I know it will be thousands) I am located in Dallas but for the right bichir I will pickup anywhere in the USA but I also have...

Which one would do well with bichirs? (bichirs in question are 7-10")

Hi, Yesterday, after making a regular 15% water change, I added a plant fertiliser of 20ml to my 150Litre tank. After some hours, my 7 inch Polypterus endlicheri, started losing balance while swimming with laboured breathing. I also fed him frozen shrimp more than the regular quantity...

Hey guys, so I recently got an ornate bichir. He’s very active and has been swimming around just fine, but has a big curve in his spine. Do you think he has a broken back? I haven’t noticed this before yesterday

Hello Monsterkeepers, time to let my Adonis go. He's bullying the other plecos now. He's beautiful and healthy specimen. Only way to picture was to catch him out of the tank. Note pickup only, in Lake Forest, Ca

I’ve been feeding crickets, earth worms, minnows, tilapia, shrimp cutlets, blood worms, brine shrimp and probably something I’m forgetting like 3 times a week other than that they eat hikari sinking carnivore pellets(they absolutely love these things). I was wondering about any other foods y’all...

Any hobbyists who have had fossorochromis rostratus in their polypterus community tanks? Greatly appreciate any advice on this. Thank you in advance "

I am not sure what happened but I just looked at my tank and found my endli has white spots on BOTH sides of his body it doesn’t look that white in the picture buts it’s literally paper white I don’t know what happened I been doing the same thing I have for two years someone please help

Hi guys, I got this poly at 6 inches, it came as an ansorgi x endli hybrid. I'm still unsure what it is and I want to find a new home for it so I have to be honest while giving it away! Please don't mind the tank, I snuck these photos in as I was doing a clean up.

Ok laugh, but seriously. My barbs have been relentlessly biting my bichirs on the cloaca. Even after being fed to satiation, they keep doing it! Im worried this is going to lead to injury and infection. I noticed it for the first time last night. Has anyone ever dealt with this? Do I need to get...

Very healthy fish for sale you will never find another one this size this guy is probably like 6 inches thick

MOVING my 7 SIlver Arowanas to Pond!

Hey guys, Recently I moved my 15 in lapradei bichir to a smaller 30 gallon tank for the time being since I wanted to rescape my aquarium. That would prove to be one of my worst decisions since the bichir was super unhappy and kept jumping and hitting the glass for 2 days. Started developing red...

Hello Monsterkeepers, sadly I have to remove my well cared for Jardini. I've had him for about two years now raised from 4 inches. Super healthy and only fresh food for diet, worms, mealworms, shrimp, mussels and silversides. I don't believe in processed pellet food. He is quiet aggressive now...

I’m planning to switch to New Life Spectrum Thera A to feed several of my 5-6” upper jaw bichirs. Right now I’m feeding them Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets and the pellet size is just perfect for them. Since I’m planning to purchase online, and didn’t want to make the mistake of getting a...

I've recently been hired onto a new job where I travel outta town for weeks at a time. It hurts to give up my fish I've kept for years but the time has come to part ways with this hobby. I really need the fish gone asap. So I will be open to offers for each fish. Silver arowana has one drop...

Hey all, I have a planted aquarium with a 14-15 in lapradei bichir, 5 in Indonesian Tiger Datnoid, 6 Adult Angelfish. This stocking is not set in stone and will likely decrease as the bichir and datnoid grows. I’ve already seen Datnoid aggression on some of the angelfish as they get close to...
