Really depends on a albino or platinum you get. There are two sperate group of bichir, lower jaw and upper jaw, lower jaw can get to 16"+, if wild cought it gets bigger, upper jaw can get to 12", probably 16" max if wild, some upper jaw like ornate,teugelsi and weeksii can get to 20"+, but i havent seen them in albino or platinum.
its a Noah's Ark of sorts. I typically only have one type of each species <with exceptions>. Truth be told the Ornate was the first poly I've ever kept. They do fascinate me, I just have heard some of them can get pretty nasty.
Depends on the individual, my ornate is pretty mellow, but i had a ornate that ate another bichir. Ive heard ornate can be a killer to other bichirs.
Beautiful aquarium, nice of you to rescue the Aro and Bass.
Well, I have a nice 140g grow out tank (it has some fish in growing out for the 1100g) I was planning on putting whatever bichir I get in there first, and get it big enough to introduce to the 1100g.
So what do you guys (the poly masters) think: get an albino/platinum endli or a PBB? Either one I would grow out

Thanks! I have blind 8" Thai Silk Flowerhorn I got for free from a member and can't wait to add her to the mix. The tank has some pricey fish, but even the free ones are beautiful and have worth to me
I personally admire people with good hearts like yourself.
Lol, meet Croc my Dabola endli (Tinkisso river)
Currently Croc is at 18" and was pretty mean and nasty toward the other polys until I increased the numbers and took out some territorial decor. No problems with any other fish however.
