Yeah, the color become more stable when the bichir reach certain size, though, there's still range depending on water condition, substrate color, or health. Actually, the tank had a worm issue, and I used anti-worm/anti-bacteria/salt on the tank for a while. During that stage, their color got lighter. And, they regained color few weeks after the treatment was finished.

Damn between you and CDM I am really thinking about kicking out all the non-bichirs and lowering the lighting... Hmm might be time for one of those 36" wide tanks......

glad i helped haha

i feed them usual stuff, massivore delite/carnivore pellets, silversides, tilapia, smelt, have also fed market shrimps and frozen krills before. i think it has more to do with the individual's appetite.
