Actaully its not a 65g, i just did a measurement, its a 48”x15”x24”= to 75g tall.
Wow. Very pretty. But up to 21 inches TL makes it a bit too big for my tank long term doesn't it?
the gold dust only reach 21" if wild caught at a large size, realistically you are looking at 12-14"
I havent seen a gold dust that reach 21”, all god dust are WC and they stay 10”, rarely 12”.
Oh ok. I was going off of the sticky that lists all the species with finlet count and length. Definitely will add that to the list.
yay I love them! You are going to become obsessed. Welcome to the obsession- erm I mean hobby.So i've been a lurker around here for quite some time but I finally was able to land some bichirs this weekend and finally have room to do so. I was able to get a delhezi (about 6 inches) and a senegalus (about 4-5 inches) for my 75. The only other thing i have in the tank are a few blood parrot growouts.

Ha thanks! I can already see the addiction. My del is being fairly shy but the senegal is out and about constantly. I'm hoping to add 1 or 2 more to this tank. Just got to keep waiting for them to become available. Any advice on feeding them? Right now they are readily eating omega one shrimp pellets and nls thera a formula mini pellets. Is this sufficient?
I was going off this chart
as far as seeing a 21" gold dust I haven't seen one either and the 12-14 would be a large one too
