Is a 75g that is 18 inches wide be okay for adult delhezi's? I figure it'll be okay as I dont think most of them grow past 18" nor do they demand alot of space to swim around, since they're always lazing about on the bottom.

Also, is it okay to stick maybe one or two more in there? Will they fight? I always see pictures of a big group of them together, but at some websites they say they may be aggressive to their own kind? Can anyone shed some light on this, and also for question 1? Thanks! -Jeff
 
a 75 is fine for 12 delhezis :). Most of us keep communities of bichirs w/o problems, although I have noticed a few individuals with bad attitudes. Personally, I've had a few senegals that were aggressive towards other senegals but that's been it.
