Is Possible to have All DEHEZI Tank Without Territorial Problem?

[FishGoneWild]

I have a 5ft tank and was wondering if 5 delhezi could coexist in the tank. The other bichirs are becoming too boring for me because they do not do anything except lay there all day and night. The only one that stays active are my two adult dehezis. I was wondering if I could have a ALL DEHEZI setup. I have yet to see this setup here on MFK. Need an opinion from the bichir hobbyists. If yes, then I will sell my other bichirs to get more delhezis.

i had 4 4" delhezis in a 55g before with no problems.

i have three delhezi with about 20+ other bichirs and they all get along in fact they stick together

I have thought about an all delhezi tank before, that would be an awesome sight!

IME, delhezi do not tend to show overly territorial behaviour, and IME are less aggressive than other species of bichir, especially lower jaws and ornates..

i say go for it!

why not mix other active birchirs like sens and pollis?

there can be an aggression but not to the point that it can hurt each other that much
