How many bichirs in a 100 gallon tank?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
IME, get the 100 and put the ornate there w/ your new endli, keep the 100G for 3 to 4 of the bigger species and leave your 35 for a couple of the smaller ones.
or you could have a bichir tank customized, let's say 60"X16"X20" for all your smaller bichir species, and the 100g for your ornate and future P. endli endli.
im rather puzzled why a person would have 9 P. Sens, unless you've bred them yourself.

well i hope you don't mind the suggestions but its just that we always think of what's best for our pets, so its hard to recommend and say that it's ok to try to put all those bichirs in a single tank, and not think of bio loads, adult size difference and water quality.
 
Boss ninoe napagtripan ko lang... it's nice to see 9 senegals lurking in my aquarium especially at feeding time... ung suggestion nyo na 60x20x16 ilang gallons un? nga pala... are you from manila too?
thanks for the advice anyway...



luv this site cuz i learn alot from people here. they'd even reprimand you if you don't treat your fishees nicely... and that's good...
 
hehe that's ok, thats what we call a bichir addiction , not familliar on computations to gallons so we need to ask an expert to accurately compute the volume of water, so rough estimate is 65gallons (not sure on this), that's really the advantage of having a tank customized, you can have anough floor space and width w.o having to put in so much water. like a 75 and a 90 gallon tank, not much difference on length but the difference is in the height so you get the same floor space but you put in more water but you have to keep in mind water filtration.

yup here in manila, had one of my bichir tank customized as well, its a little bit costly but you get to house your bichirs properly, and since it's mostly bichirs i have right now so i have the bichir bug as well.
enjoy! get the endli endli it's really worth it hehe
 
go big or go home, I have a 265 gallon tank on order for my enlicheri:drool: :drool: :drool: :headbang2 pics will follow when it gets here and I get the floor brased!!!
