[Jakob]

Hi, i have decided to go with bichirs again. I am getting those following species:

Senegalus
Senegalus Albino
Palmas Polli
Delhezi
Ornatipinnis
Lapradei

I have decided to have only 1 Albino Sen. The tank is 20" wide.
How many of each should i get (i will add 1 and 1 slowly)

Need answers asap.

Well it depends. Ornates grow up to 2' and the others are 2' and under. I would get 2-3 ornates and 3-4 of the others. If you have good filteration I would say you could keep a lot.

I have a 125 but with 10 times turnover filtration. It's overstock but the filtration can handle it.

8 delhezi 10" or bigger
5 polli palmas
2 palmas palmas
1 buettikofoferi palmas
2 platinum senegal
1 regular senegal
1 albino senegals
1 shortbody endli
1 ropefish
total =22 bichirs

6 angelfish
7 discus
6 clown loaches
