That is always the hope. But I've seen way too often life has something different to say about that tank upgrade. So that's why I say larger tank before larger polys.I thought she will upgrade her tank,lolz
I was wondering that myself... I have even read that the larger upper jaws like Teugelsi and Ornates could use even more than 75. Is that true? I specifically remember the Teugs becasue I want one. Ha.
Maybe she has an upgrade plan?
If not I can vouch for Delhezi and Palmas Palmas being great bichirs.

I know wc teug grows massive long, but im not sure on cb one. Ornate grows big and the thickness is more bigger that a teug, weeksii really depends on the individual.
Since there were four larger polys brought up (teugelsi, ornate, weeksii and ansorgii) I personally would like to see a tank with a 24" x 72" footprint, so basically a 180g or larger.
I think wc teugelsi will get like 18-20 inches. Had one at 14 inches before it died.

WC teugelsi can easily push 24"+. I had a pair of 21" wc teugelsi from Toyin and they are super active. Ornate can easily push 20"+ but I don't see many around. The guy I got my ornate from kept his 11" ornate in a 29g by himself. After a year in my tank that ornate is now 15-16". Weeksii just don't well in smaller tanks. I moved a weeksii into a 40g in hope of power feeding but the darn fish ended up not eating much for a whole month.
Get a delhezi, palmas, or senegalus. If you want to be extravagant then get a platinum Senegal.

Power feed a weeksii??? Impossible, lol !
Sorry I meant CB and not wc. Yes wc will and can hit the 26 in mark.
