Hao's Bichir Update Thread-August

[Hao]

Thanks, my tank is 270g-70"x32"x28". My Bichirs are all in one tank except an 8" Delhezi. It's 3m colorquartz sand-red,tan,black mix. The purpose is to bring out better color and contrast on the Bichirs. Red sub would be good for the Bichir, unless its blue back then black sub would probably do fine.

Lower jaw bichirs like lapradei might lose there contrast and get dark.

 

[SnaKeheAdSrAwSomE]

yeah, when u put just black sand, a lot of bichirs lose their contrast and adapt to the black substrate. mix it up with red tan, etc.
thats what hao did. I just put red. either way, they turn out good
