Anyone ever actually try these? I've been going through the threads, and everyone seems to either say the exodons will bully the bichirs, or vice versa, but no one actually speaking from experience. I'm interested in something small and aggressive that would take out any extra convict feeders i might be breeding, but the senegal wont kill fast enough.
Exodons?

I had two exodons with a few redbellies, and they were fine for a while, then one was killed. But one is still living in there, and is fine. I think the other one got weak, and was eaten. But, overall they are cool fish, quick and fun to watch.
You heard right. That comm will likely end one of two ways.
Either the exodons will pick the bichir apart, or at least stress it to death.
Or the exodons will become an expensive snack @ around $8/ a piece

I am keeping 20 of them in a 100 gallon planted tank with some jewel cichlids and some plecos for a month or so. So far so good. They did take out the guppies but I expected that. It is cool when all 20 disappear into the big sword plant and then reappear one by one. Cool fish but have their limitations,
anyone actually try this? i dont think i'm going to be taking this risk, but i'd like to hear if there are any success stories
I feed 15 of those little wannabe piranhas to my 9-12 inches bichirs before. That was 2008. They were gone within an hour. Bichirs ate all of them. They can't even take a chunk off of the bichirs.
I got a friend who have large 14-20"+ endlis in his tank with his amaira and the amaira can't even crush the bichirs armored scales. Amaira is 17". Bichirs are the only fish it can live with his amaira as other fish are being gutted out. Bichir scales are so tough that the US military is planning on turning it for their new protection for their soldiers to use as armors.
