Moved the bichirs to the 100 gallon... what to expect?

[Sarahmander]

Yeah i think your good to go. Give them a few days to get accustomed to the change in scenery. I wouldnt even add the stress gaurd anymore. These fish are rock solid for the most part

I don't know how this happened but I hate seeing her like this.... what do I do??? This is a wound right? Not ick? It doesn't look fuzzy

Update, it is hardly visible anymore. Gave away the killifish that was harassing her today and the cory cats and got an African Bush fish.

Glad its healed up. I agree with J jaws7777 . Your heater is in the sump right? Looked kinda like a burn. Could have been an abrasion that was mostly healed though.
Looks great btw!

Drift Wood.

...And its always better to ask a "stupid" question than make a stupid mistake.

oh...ok

It's in the tank because it was too long for the sump, but it has a guard on it. Even so... she does like to lounge on it...
When she gets spooked she dashes around and sometimes smashes into stuff. It could have been that. She's really fast and hits hard.

Here are the two kiddos that were fighting. They seem all settled now. They eat just fine, no more slime coat shedding, and all three bichirs have been super active and having fun playing in the bubble wall or chilling on the moss (even my Del, who I am sure has anxiety)View attachment 1361495 .

How big is your albino? He looks huge in this pic! Is the 3rd poly(not the del ) bigger than the albino? Have you seen any aggression from any of them besides the albino?

Third poly is also a Senegal and is my youngest. She was a rescue because she had a crooked a spine. She's perfect now, and almost as big as the albino. He is 7" and I've had him almost 6 months. He's a piggy. Here's the family photo:
