Delhezi Bichir Growout Thread

Keeping cories with bichirs could end up badly.If the bichir decides to snack on one,it'll choke on it.Seen it happen to many snakeheads and a few other fish.
Edit : Sorry ,skipped a few posts.

Ok. And that would be all their diet? I wasn't planning on feeding it to them: too much work! I'll look at my lfs and see wether or not they have NLS.

Deadeye The Masked Shadow fishing sinkers are lead?

 

[The Masked Shadow]

I know. I was confused about that; stainless steel fishing sinkers?

 

[Krismo962]

'"Most fishing sinkers are made of solid lead. Lead in fishing sinkers can cause lead poisoning. Lead dust from fishing sinkers can contaminate tackle boxes, tables, and other surfaces. ... Lead-free split shot sinkers, made of tin, are available"'.Hope this helps.

Oh - I see.
I just assumed they were steel.
On that note I would not put lead in a fish tank.

Thank you to the more experienced anglers for correcting me!

-2 tetras. This time, I think it was the Corys. Anytime a tetra gets close to there spot under the plastic driftwood, they come out and bang them. The 2 smallest ones are gone. They are like mini piranhas. Anything that will stop them from killing, please tell me

More high rise plants?
Getting fish like giant danios are good so they can distract each other with other fish.

 

[The Masked Shadow]

Maybe larger congo River basin tetras Will put them in their place. I don’t want giant danios because they are from Sri Lanka, and I want fish from the Congo River basin.

They could work but the big guys may just off the smaller ones.
What about barbs or killies?
