bichir

Hey everyone! Just wanted to know how often and when everyone is feeding their bichirs. I'm currently doing every morning 11 am massivores, and my lap is usually a bit slow to the food. I'm thinking of doing 5pm instead and every other day since I know a lot of notable members have told me that...

Hey all, I have had my female wild caught polypterus lapradei Nigerian for 3 years now (if you check my past posts may remember i asked tons of q about them when I first got mine). She was 11.5 inches approximately back then and now after 3 years is 12.5-13 in. I’m wondering if this is normal...

Hey guys, I’m a long-time lurker and first-time poster and I just came to share my new baby! My very friendly, loving albino Senegal I had for 2 years sadly contracted SBD and passed very suddenly, and while reminiscing at the store I bought him from, I met this adorable little Endli and...

Hey guys! Hope everyone is staying safe and enjoying this hobby. A few months back I posted a pic of the beginning of my planted aquarium journey and here are some updates to show the growth of plants! Inside this tank I have a polypterus lapradei and 10 angelfish. I know the stocking is def too...

Looking for all Unique Bichirs. Do not try to sell me your Dinosaur Bichir purchased from PetSmart Located in Peoria, IL. Willing to drive up to 2 hours or have them shipped Melanistic Tropical Gar The black gar. I would drive a far distance for the right price and fish. Willing to have it...

Hey everyone I’m looking to rehome my two jack dempseys (male 5”, female 4”) and my marbled bichir (5-6”) I’ve had them for a while so they are sentimental for me and they need to go all together or not at all, I need to rehome them due to a change in space and needing to switch stocking. I’m...

Up for sale is my Delhezi. Had him ever since he was a little 3 inch worm, about 3 years ago. He is now 10 inches. I feed him pellets only. Pick up in Garden Grove, CA. $60

Both free. Both roughly 5-6 inches. Beautiful fish but wrong tank mates. Local pick up.

Hey all, Im keeping an eye out for a delhezi bichir in SoCal. My bichirs are 9-10in so I want at least 6in to be safe. Might be open to trade my black ghost and ornate. Or if you see some in a shop and could let me know thatd be awesome too. Thanks!

Has anyone seen an injury like this before? Im honestly puzzled how it could have happened. Right eye only. I took out a few hides that maybe he could have squeezed in between, ill check everything in the tank for sharp edges... other than that i dont know what else to do but monitor it.

hello everyone, I've recently got a bichir and he is looking pretty sick. He was fine, eating swimming etc until today when I noticed him floating up the top. I tried feeding and that helped for a little bit but he's back up there. What can I do

March, 22, 2018 / July, 9, 2020 got him at two inches lost him at a foot Rest In Peace buddy:(

Hey guys, just wanted to share an update on my wild caught Nigerian lapradei bichir. She’s around 12-13 inches now (honestly hasn’t really grown from when I got it) but is way chunkier and is eating relatively well on hikari sinking pellets. Will be posting updates as will be adding several...

So my 6” clown knife, Gonzo, got attacked by my Senegal bichir and is now missing a good chunk of his tail but he’s swimming fine, still has an appetite, but he lost some energy. Is his tail going to grow back? I attached a picture.

Hello Everyone, I recently got a 4x2x2 (120g/450l) And i'm not sure what to put in it. I have a firemouth cichlid that has to go in it but i dont really want a "community tank" so to say. My ideal stocking would be 2: Firemouth 3: Pictus Cats 1: Firemouth 1: Oscar Tbh i really want a large...

Well it has been a eventful week. I was meant to get a 75g on Monday but shipping company broke it. I then started to ask around when I talked to my uncle who had a old 4x2x2 he didn’t want so now I’ve got that. I’m not really sure what to stock it with. I have 1 firemouth that has gotta go in...

Hello Everyone, I have recently got a 75g/280l tank and I would love to put a Oscar in it. Would it be ok to put a small Oscar in with 4 firemouth cichlids and 2 pictus catfish Thank you all so much

I unfortunately have to re-home my beloved large ornate bichirs (10-11inches each). I believe they are both female. $60 each or $100 for both. They are both approximately 5 years old. Available for drop off within 12mi radius in LA. Located in San Fernando Valley (Encino specifically)

Got a few beautiful Endlis and an Ansorgii in today courtesy of @Hao! All between about 13” and 17”. Brings my total count to 8 and still growing. They’re already starting to snuggle up together and eating well!

I'm looking to re-home Female Polypterus Ansorgii about 1' and 4'' long. Pick up only.
