i had 2 bichirs that i bought last weekend and they both died within the last 2 days one always hid and the other was quite active water parameters were right i was wondering if one of the other fishes did them in the stock contains: 7" jurapari 5" back ghost 3" jd 3" firemouth a 13" caecillian worm 4" pink kisser 3" gold nugget pleco and a 5" blue crayfish
 
The blue crawfish probably did them in. What size tank do you have?
 
i would agree that it was most likely the blue crayfish, what sizes were the bichirs and would you by chance know what species they were?
 
I would pull out the crayfish or your ghost knife might be next to go.
 
75 gallon tank for now im getting a 200 gallon within the next year and my new 65 is still cycling thanks for your input i heard that if the crayfish snips the knifes tail it will die is this true? man i really the crayfish but i have no place for it except for a 10 gallon is that sufficient? im temporarily putting my 2 baby oscars in the 65 oh yes i think they were senegal bichirs they were only 2" Petsmart called them dinosaur eels
