So, i have a 3" Senegal bichir and am moving him into a 55g (its a custom shape big front to back) how many more bichirs could fit in there? What kinds? I like albino senegals! But what other kinds would work???

I have a cool little albino sen! I've kept loads of different kinds of Bichirs, you could keep Delhezi in there too as they tend to get around 14" but have been known larger.
there are some other smaller ones like palmas that could live in there
 
If you want bichirs that could last in there for a long tim to pretty much life time any of the upper-jawed species except the ornate and weeksi. any thing else like delhezi, palmas palmas, palmas poli, palmas buettikoferi, etc..... you could keep an ornate in there but i would have arrangements to part with it when it gets to big. but for a 55 i would choose 3-4 of the upper-jawed species. if you wanted to house an ornate untill it got to big i would say your sen an albino sen and the ornate.
