Looking for the perfect bichir combo
- Thread starter DMD123

So I wanted to add this little fact... this tank is a very smooth community with very little issues so I don't want to add an overly aggressive bichir to the mix. Ive heard a few horror stories...
Bichirs usually aren't aggressive unless they are hungry. Keep them well fed and you shouldn't have any problems. And also make sure you don't have a bite size tank mates. However sometimes there are those bad eggs that will end up being aggressive at times, but I have rarely seen that in any polys.
I had a gold dust that was pretty hardcore and ended up rehoming it. It did not play well with the others (sen, albino sen, del, weeksii)
Ive heard of some of the endli trying to eat other smaller bichir tankmates.
Nothing to add other than i love that pearsei....i might get one lol
I would totally consider it if I could see it first. Ive seen way too many bland looking ones in my area. Nice face and fins but zero body patterning. I want a good looking ornate if I got one.
Dmd has his much longer thannive had mine but it depends on what you mean by difficult. The fish have insane appetites so its easy to give them variety and a good diet. Mine will eat two leaves of romain and hes only 8inches. But hes a bit on the aggressive side. Doesnt bother the polys but because of his appetite i have to feed the polys with tongs when its something i dont want him eating like fresh fish or frozen krill and stuff.
Dmd will prob provide a better response
