Im getting a new tank set up and im planning on getting a bicher there for, i dont know the best bicher for a 40-45 gallon long planted tank or if they will even fit in a 40-45 gallon long, it will be the only fish in there, and the substrate will ve sandy so he doesnt have digestive issues, so if you can lead me towards the way to go it'd be greatly appreciated
Any1 know alot about bichers

You want to look at the upper jaws. They are perfect for a tank that size.
Ex: delhezi, senegalus, palmas complex, retros etc.
Would avoid ornate, weeksii, and teugelsi due to their large potential size.

said, only upper jaw polys, as they stay small. Don't do teugelsi, Weeksii, or Ornates, as they're the three uj exceptions that grow to 18-24"+.

Get a nice del and you will be very haopy. Keep the water clean, dont go nuts with flow, give it a hide or two and some plants if you want.
Also vary its diet. Pellets, chopped tilapia and worms would be fine

I completely agree. A del would be great in that tank as the only fish.
As del do u mean thr armoured bichir, barred bichir banded bicher with the latin name polypterus delhezi
