Bichirs Compatible with Silver Aro or Discus?

[Wahoo]

Are the Bichirs compatible with a Silver Aro?

I am planning to add one juvy silver aro 4"-5" or a couple 3"-4" Discus in my 75 gal tank.

Current it is the home of my bichirs and a BGK

Delhezi 2x - 11" and 5"
Ornate - 8"
Sen - 11"
Albino Sen - 7"
Endli - 6"
BGK - 10"

Please advise and Many Thanks!!!

yes aro is okay with bichirs, discus im not sure

Thanks Hao! I'm only thinking if silver aros outgrown my bichirs, they(bichirs) would be like worms heehhe. And aren't the Silver Aros are that aggressive? Thanks again!

If it helps I've seen (long term that is) polys with discus, polys with arowanas, arowanas with discus... yet to see all three together over a period of time.

Me too,an rtg though not a silver,i think the bichirs must smell really bad or something as my rtg and dat go towards them like they are curious and then back away like they have just put their face near xxxt lol.
In my experience with discus,if there is something that lies on the bottom or in one place they tend to go and have a nip or a nibble to see what it is but as its been done before cant see a problem.

Ornates can be a little bit nippy from my experience, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

Senegals would be your best bets for Bichirs with Aros and Discus. Next to them are such fare as Delhezis. But hardly any Bichirs present mixing problems, so take your pick and enjoy your fish.
