does anybody think a pair of Geophagus cichlids "eartheaters" would do well with Bichirs, my LFS shop reccomended them to me when I was looking for fairly non agressive big fish to put with my Bichir, but its a cichlid and I dont know very much at all about them, any one know??
 
I think as long as the EE not get eaten (thus means the size difference can't be to big) you will be fine.
 
yeah, so far its been fine, I think im gonna have to get rid of a few silver dollars I have in there though, the cichlids do not like them at all, and they dont fight back, unlike the Bichir, they only tried to nip at him once and he swung around with his mouth open and they havnt squabbled since, I think the cichlids respect him and not the silver dollars, plus, ive totally gotton the Bichir bug, now I want lots of them, I want to get rid of my silver dollars and put a coulple more senegals in with the EE's. Bichirs are awsome
