so, hi again. im still missing my polys and im thinking i might get out my 55 gallon and set it up. im debating between a betta sorority of about 35 or more fighters or going back to polys. so iv got a question, can a delh live its whole life in a standard 55 comfortably or do i need a wider tank... cause i aint getn a wider tank any time soon so... what bichirs can be fine for life in a 12.5" wide tank? oh and im liable to only get one, it would have the whole tank to itself.
 
A del would be fine in a 55g for life. Numerous others could fit in a 55g, such as senegals, palmas variants, retropinnis, ropefish, and if you can get one, mokelembembe.
 
ropefish i dont think but the 1 delhezi listed is ok check the sticky for size
 
If it's a stocky shorter CB del sure...

If it's a wild caught, no way.
