How many inches of bichirs do you have in your tank.

[Burbotman]

Having watched the Polypterus forum evolve over the years, one thing that I have noticed is that it seems the majority of members do not stock their tanks as heavily as in the past.

Now this thread is not meant to discuss the ethics or rational of a members stocking choice but rather to see quantitivly what stocking levels people are keeping.

My thread so my measurement, total inches of bichirs and size of tank.
So if you have a 16" endi and 3 12" Tuegs in a 120. You would be 52"/120gallon.

Let's see what is out there.
