Hey guys, I recently took in a endlicheri bichir that my friend gave to me (could not take care of it anymore) and I was wondering what tank size they need. He is currently in my 75 as my 6 foot tank flooded my basement. Would a 4x2x2 be adequate for life with my oscar and senegal bichir. Thanks in advance for the info 😊
 
4x2x2 could be done. Depends on if it’s cb or wc. You’d have to make sure the Oscar’s let him get to the food. I’d say he won’t last long in a 75. My endli has gone from 5 inches to almost a foot now in only 4 months now.

The endlicheri Bichir I got is 2 inches bigger than my oscar. I'm not really sure how to tell cb or wc apart I will try to post some pics. Since I live in Canada I'm probably gonna upgrade my tank around July or August. When do the growth on this species slow down?
 
I think op meant endli is in a 75 right now but wants to move him to a 4x2x2? If you post some pics of the endli @Hao and @Caveden could identify if wc or cb. How long is he right now? How big are the Senegal and Oscar?
