Flagtail with Bichirs?

[KiiNGGiiNGER]

I heard that flagtails are not recommended with bichirs because they like to eat slime coat but yet I see multiple videos of the together? Opinions?

It's hit or miss. Once they develope the taste for the slime coat though, it needs to be removed.

Gotcha sounds like the same situation as with plecos.

The only difference is that the risk us higher with pleco's since they occupy the same level of the tank and pleco's will just suck on whatever's around them

I've had 2 Flagtails...one left my Bichirs alone while this new one loves slime coats. So it's 50/50 so far for me.

They tend to be communal for the most part
