bichir

I'm going to be moving some fish to their semi-permanent home soon(it's a massive 300 gallon tote, huge score at $200, while I save up for an actual tank which is why it's semi) and want to have all intended inhabitants quarantined and good to go so I can add them all at once and not have to...

Hi! Im new to this forum and I need some help. I have a roughly 4 inch ornate bichir that I named "L", for the reason that his back is so poorly kinked that he looks like a swimming L. I'd saw him at my LFS for about three months before his price dropped and I couldn't help myself. I have a...

Hi here's my new baby Bichir (~4.5 inches) I picked up yesterday from my LFS, a new monster fish shop that's recently opened up on the island. It's my first Bichir (so likely will be asking a question or two:) First and foremost, can anyone help ID him? I've looked at hundreds of species pix and...

Guyz, This is my Endlicheri pair. one is 12 inches and the other is around 14 inches. What are your opinions on my fish? :D Link -

So for some background info, its a 75 gallon heavily planted tank with lots of caves and driftwood hiding places, I've had a lesser spiny eel in there for several months and its gotten along with all the other tank mates just fine, I put a senegal bichir in just last night and the eel will not...

Hey everyone- I am brand new to this forum as a member goes but have been viewing it as a guest for the past year or so. A year ago I got back into the aquarium hobby and wound up getting an albino sengal bichir after instantly falling in love with him at my LFS. He (i think its a he) is...

Hey guys! I bought 2 18~20cm delhezi polys to go w/ my blood parrot pair, and so far, they're doing great. I've noticed a patch of weird looking things that look like sand. I'm guessing that its actually sand stuck to their slime coat? (i'll upload a picture later on) I just want some answers...

Any thoughts on keeping more than one Bichir in the same tank? I'm planning a 240g (96x24x25") and was hoping to keep an Ornate and Delhezi together. Is it possible? Any tips for long term success or should I avoid mixing and just get one? Also, could they live long term with a black ghost...

Looking for an ID for this poly of mine. I have my thoughts but am more interested in everyone else's take. I got it from an LFS at 3" about a years ago. Sold as an endli. Its about 12-13" now. Thanks!

I know this has been asked already, but I wanted some fresh opinions. Could a senegal bichir do well with maybe an elephant nose, african brown knife, or african cichlids? Please answer!

Hey y'all. I might get a senegal bichir so I wanted to know what they are like. Do they handfeed? Do they like to be pet? Will they follow you in the tank? Please tell me!

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.

Hi, since about a half year im totally into bichir. Got some Delhezi, Senugales, Ornate, Endlicheri, Lapradei, and Palmas B. Devided into 3 tanks. I'm having a bit of a Pokémon pollacy: gotta catch em all! All jokes aside; i lost 4 of them in the last 2 weeks. Symptons where all the same...

Hey guys! So I just recently moved and set up my 400gallon tank in my new home. It’s 8 foot wide 2 foot 3 deep and 2 foot tall.. and succefully moved all my fish from the 120gal... I dropped a bichir but he’s fine :o . I transferred the canister with them and slowly acclimated them so the tank...

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...

Hey Everyone, You guys have been great to me and I genuinely appreciate all the love! We're nearly sold out of everything! Here are a few things left over.. We can ship FedEx/UPS to most of the east coast for 50 to 75 bucks. All other areas should use Air Cargo to save on costs. Orders of...
