Update on my Lapradei Bichir

[rayoddballfish]

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 angelfish to the tank in the coming days (they’ve been in quarantine for a good time now). Hope you guys enjoy!! Feel free to post you bichir and tank setups!!
