So I have a couple options going through my head. came to 3 main ideas.

Lyonsi

Festae

Jaguar

Keep in mind I would only keep 1 or a pair in my 75g. Nothing else. I dont even know If I would really want a pair. But I finally found a local breeder that has really nice looking Festae. And I also found a different guy who has really nice Jags. (I would have to order the Lyonsi) So what do you guys thing I should get?
 
I have exactly the same set-up. i went with a festae first then sold him bc he was too shy. Now im doing 1 jag, he is also in there with an endli.
 
Yeah I would have one of the above with my sen bichir. My gf wont let me get rid of him lol. She calls him Mr. Squishy so I guess he is a family pet. But I think I will be getting a free Jag some time in April so I will see where my mind takes me by then? Idk
 
OK so I was offered a F1 female festae for 6$ I think I'm going that route.
 
Caquetaia myersi would be another route that would be totally awesome. They aren't that common and are totally awesome fish. Mine were pretty much like oscars in personality, very cool, and quite colorful too.

Festae will be colorful for sure, but I don't think a pair would work out so well in there. You might get bored having only fish too, so you might want to look into some other type of compatible tank mates if possible.
 
Those Do look neat. But yeah I'm not going to have a pair. Just the one and a couple bichirs I think.
 
solo festae if you want an attractive fish, but a pair of smaller species will be more active if you change your options a bit
