Prolly just as many as i can get or if two or more needs a bigger tank then just one if you get me
I am speaking from experience, don't get just two. The experts will answer most of your questions a few moments from now....
The first thing is how many do you want? 1 can be kept in around a 70 gallon tank for quite a while. 3 or more and you will want at least a 125. I have 7 in a 265. All my fry are raised in 30 gallon breeder tanks for the first few months and usually all sell before I need to move them. You really have to base what you are going to do on how many you want to have.
I keep mine at 9.4 pH, temp around 82. There are other people that can give you ideas for tankmates. I keep all my fish in species only tanks.

One would be perfect and i have a 67g tank, dimensions are 36"x24"highx18" wide would that be big enough i was going to set up a peacock colony but if that would be able to house one then i would set up a tank the tank for him, if he could be put in there is there anything that i could put in with him, maybe one or two synos or something
I don't know about the bichir. Never had one of them. One would be fine in that tank for quite a while. A friend of mine has a 10" Burundi in a 70 gallon and he still has plenty of room and he is in their with a full grown peacock, calvus and a couple others. Synos should be fine too. I keep Syno. Eupterus in most of my tanks.
Alright well i decided im going to wait on the fronts and get a 125g tank and get 4 of them with a couple of bigger birchirs like ornate or weeksii so im really looking forward to it in a couple of years when the money and space and everything is there you no
