Hi everyone, I'm not really a new member here but figured I'll do a new post since it has been forever since I've been on this forum and everything looks alien to me already. My last post in MFK was in Sep 2012!!!
I was a huge polypterus (bichir) fan back then, considering I have collected every single species (known back then) and kept them in my 6x2x2ft tank. Nothing complex, just some black sand, a couple of driftwoods and rocks.
Here is a photo of the setup
Unfortunately, I had to serve in the army for 2 years. And so the tank and fishes had to go and gradually I became less active in the community.
Fast forward 3-4 years to the present. I have started a new 4x1.5x1.5ft tank. Though my passion for bichirs have not fade, I could not find the space to house a larger tank. Keeping those serpents in this new tank won't be ideal (especially for those lower jaw giants).
Hence I decided to explore another area of this hobby and choose to go with planted tanks and community fishes. Here is the tank as of now.
Hope you guys like it. And I guess you would find me more in the planted section of MFK!
