get those red quartz or red gravel.
Its prove to improve the coloration of bichirs.
Even hardcore japs use them

Pics? I am thinking about black and doing a Buddha theme. I like the idea of the red though.

not so sure if gravel is a wise choice for you bichirs .. sand maybe better I also could be wrong . but I belive some one posted a thread on one of these fish with a blockedge and it was suspected to be from the gravel he had in his tank because of the way this type of fish eat's or location ( level , low. medium. high .point 's in tank..) or you may want to go bare bottom.. :D

gravel is not a wise choice cause bichirs tend to suck food on the base of the tank, might eat the gravel unintentionally, so sand would be your best option :)

I really really really like flourite, its uber great for plants and it looks really nice if you are going to the "natural" look. Be sure to was it though, or it will be really cloudy for 3-4 days when you add water ;)
