Delhezi bichir stocking question.

[TheEelKing]

So no delhezi bichir just the Oscar or just them 2? I wouldn't do a catfish then, I didn't think of that fast movement would both the birch , good point.
Let's say I didn't go the Oscar route, what others woukd work best or better with the delhezi bichir
Maybe go a biotype kidna route ? Not sure what fish could go with him

You could do a Severum instead of an Oscar and add a Leopard Ctenopoma with the Severum. To add motion to the tank, you could go with a combo of Congo Tetras and Roseline Sharks and either half a dozen Silver Dollars or Bala Sharks for movement in the center of the tank coupled with about a half dozen Clown Loaches.

I’ve had success keeping delhezi’s with large cichlids such as Jack Dempseys and Oscar’s. The Oscar will very quickly outgrow the bichir so make sure that the bichir is either full size to start or be ready to separate them. Aggression was never an issue and I always target fed my bichirs with tongs.
