Bichers and Archers?

[nbku3vm]

I have a 7in Delhzi and a 9in albino bicher, I would like to add some archer fish to my collection but I know the T. microlepis species are the ones my LFS carry are only mildly brackish. They seem to tolerate an SG of less that 1.005. can a bicher tolerate SG levels of 1.002 or is this going to remain just a dream?

why not keep ur tank full freshwater. and add some archers, i had archers n bichirs together. archers stay on top, bichirs mostly stayed on bottom. never had any problems for over a year.

Thanks for the tips, but how healthy will the Archers be for long term?

some species of archers live a long happy life in full freshwater. depending on species, they are found in every environment, which often fluctuates itself. keep it a full freshwater tank, and they should be fine together
