Polypterus in a 75 gallon tank?

[Dr.B]

Ok that's fine, but I would still recommend making a list then posting them all up at once so you can get quicker feedback for them all at once rather than then all over a day.

• Minimum Tank Size: 30 gal (114 L)
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Aquarium Hardiness: Very Hardy
• Temperature: 70.0 to 75.0° F (21.1 to 23.9° C)
• Aquarist Experience Level: Beginner

They should be fine but with all cichlids I would still keep a close eye during the beggining part of introducing the 2

Ok, I still don't have any fish on my tank I will put them all at once thanks!

 

[Dr.B]

I would probably introduce the bichir first, but that's depending on the size of both fish

+1, cichlids are jerks imo lol, just make sure fins aren't being nipped.

I saw a polypterus with gills like axolotl care to explain?

 

[Dr.B]

When they are young they have external gills to help them get oxygen while their swim bladder develops
