what kind of bichirs did you have? i know the gars i've seen in lfs usually stay near the surface and my sens like to float around up their too. did you find having the gars cut or stopped the bichir's surface time?
 
Hujeta's arent true gars tho. I have two 13" Florida gars with my 6" senegal, they grew up together and have never showed aggression to each since i put them together
 
Make VERY sure your gar is larger than your bichir... see picture below:

A pike/gar fish I had just picked up from PetsMart. Didn't even have a chance to research what it actually was before Gustavo made it disappear. He was 8'' in the picture, the gar thing was 7''.
 
holy *****!
it ate something almost as long as itself?
i have senegals,delhezis,endlis and an ornate.
no,the gar and the bichirs completely ignore each other.
but one time i caught my albino senegal lying on the gar. :D

Wow Keeper, that guy looks stuffed. I can't believe he ate something only 1" smaller than himself. Well the gars I'm looking at aren't that expensive and my bichirs aren't that big yet.
