help problems with my bichirs

[neko1]

How big is the tank? Buy a aqueon heater 300w in amazon, its under $25 also buy a heater guard to protect the glass heater from breaking so the catfish cant break it.

The tank is 2meterX60cmX40cm. I got a 300w and a 200w in it. The catfish broke my 500watt heater so thats why I got 2 heaters in there for now.

I was thinking about putting them on different sides of the tank. But I thought in the nature its warmer on the banks of the river then in the deeper parts. So I put them both on the left side knowing that it will be a little cooler on the other side. But thats no good I take?

everything looks alright, no problems with breathing. he is laying normally and even swimming normally again. such a relieve would be sad if I lost him after 3 years
I will not feed him in the next 5 days to make sure everything goes alright.

Excellent! That's a nice looking Senegalus, I'm curious about how big he is?

Glad to hear that, also just want to add, when doing water change make sure that the temp Of the water that you put back in the tank is the same temp or close to the same temp so they dont get shock with temp drop, i lost a few poly with huge temp drop cause of water change.

It is, i loss maybe two ornate and one sen before i figured it was the sudden temperature drop was the cause, i thought it was worm or parasite and i bought med but it wasnt, i even did a 90% water change and ill put cold water that came from the garden hose but that was the actually cause of them acting like that. The poly will toast around and cant control itself, bang its head and body in the glass and decor, it even tried to jump out and hit the glass lid then it will stop and sink in the bottom belly up like its dead, couple more days and it will die.
