Bowfin compatibility

[David1999]

Hey everyone, I got a friend that might get a 3" bowfin but he's got one question, will it be okay with his current fish? He has an 80 gallon aquarium and fish are...

1 angelfish 6"
1 clown loach 2.5"
1 palmas Polli bichir 6"
1 albino Senegal bichir 5"
2 Senegal bichir 5"
2 black ghost knife fish 4"
2 red severums 3"


Any fish that'll be a problem with territory or aggression or something? Thanks in advance

After a while, the bowfin will kill all of the others.

Never had one, but aren't they kinda like a North American version of the snakehead. I would imagine once he grows a few inches his tankmates will keep him well fed

Thanks for the great responses everyone, keep em coming! and anyone know he growth rate on these guys? I'm getting one for myself and once it reaches the 7-8" mark, it's going in with my bichirs in a 180g
