FATTY

[Deadeye]

Don't senegal's still reach a max of 14in or am I thinking of a different specie? I will definitely say tho, out of all the species of bichir senegal's have to be my least favorite just mainly due to them being so common and kind of boring looking compaired to other bichir species. Lol I'd honestly take a rope fish over a senegal any day.

Not much to look at, but Senegals are about 8-10 inches for a captive bred one. Delhezis are 14 inches, but still can live in a 55.

Lol yeah that's about the same behavior I had with my ornate. Only difference is it wasn't fat lol. Mine was very lazy even when it came to eating so maybe that's why mine ended up skinny compaired to yours. Either way tho, gotta love bichir's, even if they are more like decor then a fish lol. Honestly they always kind of reminded me of how allot of reptiles are. Very lazy, armoured skin and they kind of look like legless lizards.

So true lol

Delz and endlis are best looking

 

[Nilsafeller]

What about a Senegal?
I’d love a bichir, but my tanks are all overstocked right now.

+1 a sen would be fine a 55 especially a CB

I think most CB sens stay under 10”, I have a WC that’s about 12 and growing. The CB sens I’ve had in the past hit a wall at 6”, so I think even hitting 10-12” would take a very long time

Well that doesn't sound too bad. I'll probably wait till I get my 80g back up and running before getting another bichir. I'd love to try a different specie this next time rather then trying a sen or ornate again. Just not sure which I'd like to try next lol.

Delhezi are very cool, they get nice and chunky like a smaller endi
