Bichirs love loaches. Even if you think they are too big for them to swallow, they will try anyway. Not a good mix.
if they are too big to eat they will be fine. mine are fine with mine loaches.
 
Yeah I have a 5inch that has been with them for ever and never any thing but recently I picked up some 3 inch guys n they became lunch
 
Mixing different fishes in a community tank is a sight to behold.But you should mix fishes whose size approximate each other especially if you have predatory fishes like bichirs in your community tank.Bichir's tankmates should not fit in their mouth to avoid predation.:D
 
Sounds 2 me that they are hungry m8, try feeding them more/more offen. The key with predator fish is 2 keep em full, that way they dont hunt

i feel your pain... kinda


my gar ate my bichir ... I feel your pain too... kinda


And what he said, keep them full of food and they wont hunt.. SOMEHOW I have a 3 inch bichir floating around with guppies... so It can be done...
 
bichirs are odd

it seems they eat what there in the mood for

they at least taste everything...
