35g ready cycled and running

Birchirs are varying sizes for the diff species. They get along with each other and with most fish they cant swallow .
Theres good stickies on here for good detailed info about Polypterus.
Youll notice on here that most people who have birchirs have more than one because they're addictive...!!

Some birchers get too big for that tank. But if you get smaller ones you could put a few in. My birchers get along with my fire eel . At this size( 7") hes very close to a peacock eel. I would get one with some size though.
The peacocks at the LFS where I work are too small and might get eaten.

african butterfly fish are pretty cool topwater fish, plus they also have that oddball/ancient look
