Do ropefish count?
yup they too are reffered to as bichirs-Anne
 
I agree w/ the previous comments that senegalus have the best "personalities" of the various bichir species. From an aesthetic standpoint, I like weeksii, retropinnis, palmas buettikoferi, ornatipinnis, and endlicheri the best. In general, I prefer upper jaw bichirs, but endies are just too cool not to mention.
 
everyones saying senegals have the best personality. but how? how is the behavior different from all the other kind of bichirs.

IME, they are more active than any other species.
 
I have 10 bichirs total. My favorite are guinea based p. endlicheri. I like these because they tend to have darker patterns. Ornates are in a close second.
 
my fav so far is endlicheri endlicheri, but i keep other bichirs too, they have different personalities its nice to observe them especially when its feeding time
 
i had a senegal and he was really neat. loved watchin him eat feeders but i had to sell him before i moved. now im looking for an ornate. just to cool looking to not have one.
