I have a 125 and have had my tank sectioned in half for months in fear of my Ornate Bichir possibly eating my zebra pike cichlid (very expensive loll). My bichir is only getting wider and longer, probably at the 15-16 inch mark and my pike is only around 7-7.5 inches. Should I look at getting rid of the bichir? (If anyone would like him for free I live in SW Florida) I fear that he will forever be too big and always a risk to have in my aquarium. What do you monster fish keepers recommend. I also want to add geophagus and the bichir also steals all my pleco's food.

Sounds like it’s time to move in a new direction with the tank. at 15-16” he can definitely get that pike down no problem ornates are pretty aggressive as far as polys go so yea I’d suggest rehoming him
I completely agree with yall, he has tried to bite my plecos tail and even attacks my airstone that I put in the water sometimes. Hes outta here.
