I have been interested in keeping a bichir for sometime now. I've never really had room until now though. I have a 75g and a 125g. The 75g is home to an aggressive female festae. She won't allow cichlid tankmates, and constantly harasses my pleco. I have to move him back and forth from the 125 to the 75.
My thinking right now is that a Bichir might be able to handle the harassment the festae hands out until she gets bored and just allows it to co-exist. Am I right? Is a bichir tough enough? I've read they have thick armor-like scales that protects them from much damage... would this be a good idea? Obviously if it doesn't work out in the 75g I can move it over to the 125g.... Just looking for some advice, experience... any is appreciated.
