I decided I'm going to buy a delhezi bichir This is my shopping list Tank, water conditioner, led light, BIO filter, cartridges, HYDOR theo heater, Aquarium stand, SAND, Mag float, LEEs gravel vacuum cleaners, Massivore Delight, JUMBO krill, brine shrimp, and an air pump. Is there anything else I need to purchase??? Also any care tips on the Delhezi? My lfs has some for $18 Thanks in advance :)

What size tank are you getting? Also, even if you got everything at once, you would still need to cycle the tank before adding any permanent fish. A gravel vac isn't necessary with sand as it would just siphon the sand into the hose. Just siphon the top of the sand to remove any messes. I'm assuming the BIO filter is a Marineland HOB? I find an air pumps aren't necessary as long as there is surface agitation (which I get from my filters). And Polys can take oxygen from the surface. If you're going to do Ancient fish, they can do without the air pump/air stone unless you want it for decoration. And Brine Shrimp are pretty small (unless you got a small Poly), so I would get Bloodworms instead.
 
Skip the bloodworms. Carnivore sinking pellets( I use hiakari sinking gold) and earthworms for treats. Don't feed feeder fish unless u plan to never add fish as tank mates.
 
You should get on kensfish and buy some sinking gold and meat wafers and maybe kens krill pellets. I like to feed variety
