Bichir Opinion

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
lol i never knew wal mart carried bichirs?:eek:


i know same thing with me i bought a goldfish 8 years ago as a present from wal mart and it is still alive 12" and 8 years old:eek:
 
haha i was like walmart with bichir haa. i would not buy from because most of the time their fish are sick.. i would do poly palmas, albino, ornate haha.. i like though!! poly has a pretty pattern haha..
 
yeah ornate seems to be the winner..I dunno for me the albinos just don't do it for me...albine anything really...I like the more natural or bright colours
 
In my opinion the Ornatipinus is the best looking Polypterus. Keep in mind that these get to 18". I'd suggest a minimum 75 gallon tank for a full grown adult.
 
I have a rare long fin palmas that is a pretty awesome fish, but for a more common and easier to find I'd stick with an ornate, they are pretty cool lookin' the nice thing with bichirs is they aren't overly agressive...I house mine with angelfish and leaf fish...pretty cool set up...but be warned small fish WILL get eaten so unless you like buying mollies for food don't try and add small fish, the angels are bad enough but the bichir can and will eat them too...they are a goofy cumbersome fish somewhat but have a lot of character...mine will eat out of my hand
