Beautiful bichirs L libingboy ! Their line is very orderly indeed. I like the one on the far right in the first picture. Would love to hear more info about these guys. How old are they? do you have a favorite(s)? :]

majority are wc, so i got them at close to their current sizes. The oldest of the group (in terms of length of time with me), are the weeksii and the congicus, close to 6 yrs with me. The youngest would be around 3 years with me.

They get fed nls with anchovies as treats. Sometimes they get fish fillet. Wc regimen is 40% twice a week.

As for favorites, im a bit partial to the koloton, which almost died a year ago, but managed to make a recovery. I also like the teugelsi since it is the most active bichir in the tank. Makes me think the teug is cb, despite the supplier stating that it is wc.
