What is the width on the 125? kind of small for an adult ornate.

That's a really good looking ornate too.

Bichirs are very individual. Some eat anything that fits in their mouth, some are very picky. A needle will typically stay at the top of the tank and bichirs hunt on the bottom. Keep him full on frozen food and you should be fine. I keep mine with a much smaller bicher and a couple Oscars and Jack Dempsey and some other stuff and everyone does just fine.
