While we're on the subject of small bichirs,
Can you stunt their growth by keeping in a smaller tank first?

i guess so.... most fish do get stunted when kept in small tank, you know, except for some guppies and maybe even mollies on a 10G tank of course.
I have experienced keeping 3-4" sen in my 10g tank when I was 13... I kept her for a year in my 10g she grew up to 7" in 6months and got slower and slower after each month... She ended up 10" for a year and didn't grew anymore... Even when I bought my 1st big tank (55g)... Until now when she is in my 250g tank, she is still 10"... She is now my Oldest Fish...
I came across a better deal on a 60 gal and its in my living room!!!
Of the "small" bichirs... I want 'em all, especially the Palmas!!!
But I can't find anyone carrying Palmas bichirs in san diego
so...
Thinking about doing: 3 polys (1 sen, 1 albino sen, 1 del), 1 bg knife,
and later add 3 or 4 chiclids (1 jack dempsey, 2 or 3 geophagus to sift sand).
Will that work??? would adding a fire eel be too much?
