Delhezi bichir help!

[reticstingray]

Hi I have loved Bichirs my whole life, and when my lfs got a new shipment of delhezi bichirs I instantly fell in love. I know they grow a little bigger than Senegals. How many gallons of a tank would I need for one Delhezi. He will be the only one in the tank. Also any tips on care? Thanks so much!

what size tank are you putting him into?

That's what I'm wondering I don't know what size tank I should put him. I'm just going to have one Delhezi nothing else.

well it's not really a matter of gallon amount but foot print. A 75g is what would make your del very happy. A 55g would be pushing it. A 40 breeder would be ok to because of it's 36x18 foot print

Thanks so much, and is a Delhezi Bichir for $35 a good deal? I think it's 5 inches at my lfs

depends on your area, but if it were me I'd take it.
