Bichir Tank converted to a PBB only Tank

[Jungle]

Nice job in both acquiring 10 PBBs and setting up an A class tank for them. I hope they breed, sooner or later. Good job bro!.

Thanks, all I can say for sure is that he the columbian variant.

Wow, u have to get a full tank shot! Nice Bichir Bichirs. They will breed!!

Thanks for the encouragement and for viewing guys. You can see larger portions of that tank in my other threads. Full tank shots will be impossible at this time because there's a 5x2x2 tank that blocks off 2 feet of one end of the tank. This tanks footprint is only 8x2 and it's 2 feet in height.

The tanks been running for pretty long time, so apart from regular water changes. I don't really touch the sand other than occasionally vacuuming all the crap and detritus that builds up. I do have to regularly clean the filter sponges though because sand always clogs it up especially on the days when the bichirs are acting crazy.

Yes, soil was from a river in a provincial area here, nope no eggs, alot breaching going on though since we're just about to hit the rainy season.

May I ask how you deal with the anaerobic pockets??
And what do you mean by "vacuuming", are just using a regular siphon hose??
Very natural looking poly-tank you have!!
