Hujeta Gar with Bichirs

[KeyofXIII]

Hey guys, I was planning on having a 55 gallon tank with

4 Hujeta Gar

3 Bichirs (so far i have a delhizi and an ornate) still dont know the 3rd :/

2 Rope Fish

1 tiger datnoid (only temporary until he grows up to about 8 inches then ill also move him with my arowana)

and lots of plants like Java Fern, Java Moss, Anubias Nana, Amazon Swords, crypt balanse
and even a dozen water lettuce plants for shade

as well as some driftwood and maybe even fake shelter to provide cover for each bichir/ropefish.

Yes i am aware that ornates grow over 2 feet and will end up moving him to a different aquarium with my arowana.


my question is, are hujeta gar compatible with bichirs in the long run?

ive seen both species together in a tank, but what im worried about is the size difference in the long run as hujeta grow to about 8-10 inches whereas bichirs grow depending on their species. and also ropefish are said to grow over 30 inches but in captivity only can grow between 12-16 inches.

I dnt kno to much on the bichirs u have but I think u might have to the ornate as well because I seen some HUGE 1's a friend of mine had 1 a little smaller then 2ft but I dnt kno forsure how long it could stay in a 55 but to answer ur thread I dnt see y it won't work hujetas are pretty peaceful and stay up top mainly while the bichir are on bottom as long as both size where 1 cnt eat the other I say go for it.. Ill b gettin my hujeta soon as I set up my other tank and I will B puttin some bichirs in it but thts just me
