Thanks. I just wanted to make sure since I noted that it was not on Beblondie's list of compatible fish for large bichirs.

badreverend Plecostomus MFK Member Jul 28, 2007 772 29 61 54 Bishop Ca May 13, 2009 #6 I have two fire eels- a 10" and a 12" and they cohabitate comfortably with a senegal, an albino sen, an ornate, and an endli- all the polys are 6" and everyone gets along at these sizes. I cant tell you about other sizes though
