Bichir

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
and yeah atm my 100g is = 1x lapra 1x del 1x ornate and 2x senegals AND 1x black ghost knife and a bit of a messup.. xD 2x mikrogeophegas ( bolivian rams i belive they're called ) i remember seeing that geophegas could work with bichirs instead of plecos but sadly didnt realise ( i bought them at my first ever fish auction , which was a cool experience but ... kinda dumb for me , barely get to see them or they're name or anything before getting them i like to do my research :/ )

Watch the argenteas, they tend to be solo fish in the wild once they reach over 10"+ and can get highly aggressive with each other in a 6 foot long aquarium.

Yeah I know I already have good experience in keeping viejas previously I kept bifasciatus and 2 zonatus. Once the zonatus reached 8 inch it didn't worked out well between them but it really didn't bothered about the bifasciatus. Any way I'm always keeping eye on all my fishes and I planned to sell 2 of my Argentea once they hit 8+ inches am going to keep only one

What are they like to compare with? , if you had oscars for example are they like oscars or more / less agressive , are they personable etc ? :D

O's are less agressive compare to viejas like Argentea,black belt, zonatus but as far my experience I never had any issues with my synspilum or bifasciatus but generally viejas are conspecific so the tend to bit more aggressive with same kind but don't care much about others if u provide right space and also if u noticed my scaping it's quite difficult to chase

Oh oki! fun to learn , viejas has to be one of the best looking bigger ciclid imo , i've had a flowerhorn ( which is a ''fake'' fish to some so xD .. ) but even have 2x salvini cichlids and those are also very very beutiful

Would love to see that :o , but bichirs ! since that fish i've had atleast haha not planning on adding any more of those ? the ornate has been known of being a bit terriotorial but especially in a 210 i really doubt that would be an issue ( if it even gets aggresive at all )

No bro I'm more into central American cichlid since my childhood. Believe me I have experience in aquarium for the past 15 years in that half of the year I have only kept central American cichlids
