:cool-1: My new 225 gallon tank is just about cycled and ready for some real fish. My 20" silver aro. is very ready to move there too. I would really like to put a couple of Ornate Bichirs in the tank. I like the way they look and the idea of such an ancient species is just cool. I'm looking for experienced advice on where to buy these fish ( I live in northern Illinois), what to feed them and any other useful info for keeping these fish happy and growing. By the way, if anyone out there who is geographically close has some of these fish for sale (the bigger the better) I'm certainly interested.

Thank you
 
Ornates aren't usually that uncommon, so you should be able to find some in LFS. Although, finding larger ones might be a bit of a challenge.

I definitely recommend Toyin @ Rehobothaquatics.
