    Can a black ghost knife and a senegal bichir live together comfortably?

    Hey y'all. Soon I'm going to get a black ghost knife and I wanted to know if a senegal bichir and a bgk could get along. I love them and would love to keep both, but I'm only allowed one tank. So, please tell me how they do together.

    First time, and I got some questions...

    Excuse the length ><. I just recently got into the hobby, and I started with basic stuff, a simple 10 gallon with some cory's . The goal was to get into aquascaping and just have life that helped maintain the tank... & then I saw my first bichir. Bought her, and immediately bought a 40 gallon...

    Senegal Bichir Nostril messed up

    Hey all, I have a 5 inch Senegal Bichir that has a nostril that looks like it is decaying compared to the other one. Any idea what’s wrong? He jumped into the filtration compartment in the back a while ago and I’m not sure if he injured it then or not.

    Hi :) Just signed up and thought I'd share my latest fish I got 2 days ago. This is not a MonsterFish per se, it's tank mate's with a pair of P.senegalus, hope P.Sene fall into MF category otherwise I'll need another forum. :p Hope you enjoy.

    Eggs?

    I think I may have found some eggs in my 40 gallon tank. But the only pairs I have in the tank are bichirs and blood parrots. They look like little white clusters on the glass. There are three clusters. Could the be eggs or something else?

    Pleco with Bichirs?

    I have a 2.5" Senegal, 4.5" Albino Senegal, 5" Ornate, and a new baby Endlicheri of unknown size (it arrives tomorrow). When I go to pick it up, I was thinking of either getting a 4" BGK or a species of Pleco. Is the Pleco compatitble if it's the same size or bigger? If not, should I get the BGK?

    Can I get Bichirs?

    Hey all, My dad's giving me his old 75g and I'm fairly new to the fish scene. Now, I really want Senegals, like really bad, but I've searched around and asked friends and I keep getting different responses on whether or not I can keep some in my 75g. I understand there's a lot of variables...

    This sucks

    just got my 2 banjo catfish and assasin snails in the mail. I thought they’d be a bit bigger then what they were but now I can’t put them in the main tank yet. So I must make a grow out tank with sand for a few months. Then the bichir won’t think of them as a snack. And the gouramis pick on the...
