3rd and final bichir suggestions

Sup guys,
So...I caught that there poly bug a few months back and snagged a regular ol' 3" albino sen from my local LFS, and when I saw how cool they were, I went out and picked up a 5" koliba. Now I want one more to complete my small bichir collection. I plan on a nice 180ish bichir only tank with these guys.

My question is...what species should I round out my trio with???

My personal preferences right meow are either an endli or a del...but I'm open to any of the other species out there!

Why only 3? A 180 with the dim 6x2x2 could house more . Beside, the Koliba will out grow and will prob eat the albino sen... I would look into lower jaws bichirs. Like lap, endli, congicus, etc.

excuse my ignorance...but isnt a koliba a lap? At least I was under the impression from what I looked up he is. I dunno they hang out with eachother right now. we will see. my girlfriend won't be real happy if my bichir eats hers hahaha.

Ive kept a few different ones and the Del is high on my list of favorites. It is very outgoing and will feed openly during the daytime whereas some of my others were much more shy. One of my shy bichir is now starting to open up more as it gains in size and might just replace the Del as my favorite. That would be my weeksii. I love how its head looks in comparison to its body, the nickname 'fathead' really fit them. So my vote would be a Delhezi or Weeksii.
