bare bottom. other bichirs of similar size. south american cichlids (severums, gt, zonatum) they mind their own business, i know they do. and also a notorious synodontis that was temporarily housed in my 150 with them. but i can't be too sure.
Peewee, that hurts!!! Feel bad for you, brutal to lose a poly esp after a couple years. For cause it looks like blood streaks around the scales mid belly, kinda looks like the bad bacterial infection I lost an endi to a couple years back. Came on fast and leathal, keep an eye on the others. Good luck with things and in a week or two when the hurt passes, go poly shopping!!
