Some species of bichir will work. Look into upper-jaw species of polypterus. All but an ornate and maybe weeksi should do well in a 55g. Once you get into lower-jaw species (bichir bichir; bichir lapradei; endli endli, etc) all bets are off when they are adults.

i havent kept bichirs would i just have 1 or could i have more and any tankmates

 

[Citrinellus]

Well I wouldn't recommend putting a bichir in with the grammodes. But, if you want to go another stocking option that would include bichirs you could do...

-African butterfly fish
-Senegal bichirs
-Then a school of congo tetras

Would be a cool african biotope.

payara baracudas. they can get big but grow extremley slow. you could keep em in there for years. they rarley live past 11 or 12 inches.

Tankmates would have to be non-aggressive.

I'd say, depending on the amount and personalities of the tankmates, you could get 2-3 of the following:


Polypterus senegalus

Polypterus delhezi

Polypterus Palmas ________(whatever species)

Polypterus mokelembembe*

Polypterus retropinnis*





* These may be difficult to get a hold of.
