whats that fish with stripes? are they aggressive? can they be with bichirs?
 
Several of the fish have stripes. Can you tell me specifically which one? Give me a minute:second in the video or something. It's probably either a festivum or severum.
 
the fish i mean is at the start of the video facing that orange fish. they are actually 2 similar looking striped fish in the beginning.

They are wild-caught severums, Heros sp. These particular fish are "Red Spot Tapajos" but they are turning out more like rotkeils.
 
They are cichlids. Sometimes you get aggressive ones and sometimes not. Mine seem pretty docile toward their tankmates. I've never kept bichirs so I wouldn't really know how to answer that.
