I ordered several bichir, and they arrived at around 3 to 4 inches which is a bit smaller than I expected The tank is around 28 inches deep which has me worried for their air breathing needs.
I have them in a 20 gallon for now with some catfish that also came in at incredibly small sizes.
Part of me thinks they must live in far deeper water in the wild so it should be fine? It just looks like a long way for them to swim though?
Should I let them grow a couple inches in the 20 then move them over or is this even worth being concerned about?
