Hello, im a new member here and not so experienced with many types of fish. I did a little research before purchasing my bichir and peacock eel but haven't found any tank mates that catch my interest. The pair are in a temporary tank, soon to be moved into either 200g tank or 120g, but for precaution I would like to consider the 120g tank for now. I learned that specific type of Cichlids are good but I hope yall can give me suggestions on what type of fishes I should add. I would like some birchir/eel/knife-like fish to add to the lower half of the tank but i would also like some top-half swimmers that dont look too pre-historic. Any list of suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

what type of bichir did you get?
assuming its an upperjaw bichir you could get a Butis Butis aka Crazy Fish. I just got one for my oddball tank and love him

They are brackish majority so just something to consider. One of my favorite fish as well.
Bgk, severums, goes, pink tail chalceus, red or yellow cudas, striped pike characins, and African knife, and some roseline barbs come to mind.
Yes geos, acara, some africans, ctenapoma, butterfly fish if you have a top and you need a top, filimented barbs alot of barbs actually. Lower half other upper jaw Bichirs del, polli, albino, palmas, ropes. Sooooo many options!
