I have a 55 gallon that im setting up and i want it to be a Bichir/Angelfish tank. I want atleast 1 Angelfish and hopefully 2 Bichirs, i was thinking of 1 Senegal and 1 Armoured Bichir but i think that they may take up the 55 with just those two, am i right? Whats the largest Bichir i could put in there and still have room for 1 or more Angelfish without having to upgrade tank size? Ive been doing research and have read the "care sheet" on this site (Which was very useful) If worse comes to worse im willing to settle with 1 Senegal and however many Angelfish i can fit in, I would just like something a little "cooler" looking instead of a plain looking Senegal but i will get one if its the only thing that will fit ( Ya i no im a little :screwy: lol ) I would have sifted and rinsed playsand for a substrate (bottom) and i was thinking of a large piece of driftwood for the center piece and maybe some live plants in there to:D anyways i better stop myself from rambling, so please answer those questions if you dont mind.

Thanks,
Spencer
 
I see 3 polys in your 55 but i take it that your upgrading in the near future? and ok ill g owith 2 polys but does that include angelfish or is that JUST 2 polys?

Also nice looking tank you have there! :headbang2

IMO angels would work, but thats just because i think that the bichirs would leave them alone because they NORMALLY occupy different sections of the tank. because it doesnt matter nearly as much about the size of the tank compared to the size and quantity of the fish in the tank as much as if they get along.
