i have a 4" albino bichir that ive had for about a month. ever since the first day i got him he always seems really hyper. hes constantly swimming around the top with my arowana. and i noticed that he loves to rub his body up against the aro. its pretty funny watching him and right now i have him along with everything else in the tank on medium hikari gold pellets. is this normal activity for a small bichir?
 
yup. seneguls are the crackheads of the polys
 
when i bought my first bichir, he was really active too for about a month. after that he kinda settled and now he is more quiet. still fun to watch tho :)
 
They are very active when young. As they age, they are only active when hungry, which for some is all the time.
 
Mine is definatly diurnal lol. At night he doesn't move and just sleeps. He doesn't eat anything I throw in there at night either lol.
