Bichir for my tank?

[Jared T]

Hi I was wonder what species of bichir could fit in a 125,150,or 180 gallon tank. I am planning on getting one of these sizes for my birthday in may. My stick that would go into the tank would be a Lima shovel nose catfish, striped Raphael catfish, and jack dempesy cichlid. Is there a species compadable with these fish.

Wrong, a 'dinosaur' bichir, aka senegal bichir will MAX out at 14", but a cb will rarely hit 10". Go for an ornate, endli, congi, ansorgii, and of the lower jaw species, check out the stickies.

i think if you get a 150 5x2x2 or 180 6x2x2 you could house almost any bichir that grows up to like 20 inchs but for a 125 i wouldnt get anything more than a senegal
