The biggest problem when it comes to ich at chain stores like Petsmart & Petco is the way they filter their tanks. Big chain stores like that run row tanks that are run off a central filtration system and the water flows through all the tanks and only one big giant filter is run in a side room for all the tanks. So one fish in any of those tanks has ich and that means all the fish are subjected to it. That's the main reason I won't buy fish from any store that uses a central filtration system. If each tank in a shop doesn't have its own filter then I'm not even considering buying a fish there.

More then one bichir? Tank? Size depends on what type of bichir you want/get. A Senegal can live out its life in a 40b. Uj types Delhezi,moke,butt,polli,Palmas,retro need more like a 75.
Lj types endli,anasorgi,congi,lap, so on need 200g+.
Bichirs 1 or more then 3. Seems like alot of people have issues with 2.
Couple ujs Get big ornate,teug,weeksi need at least 180g but I had two teugs and 180 looked small for them.

Big a tank as you can afford/fit. Because bichirs are one of the most addictive fish to own IMO. You may plan on only getting one or two, then next thing you know you have a room full of them :duh:

Sorry, should have specified. I'm talking about a senegal. Would 1 be ok in a 55?
