Jen's Bichir Tank

[straitjacketstar]

60 gallon tank, currently home to P. ornatipinnis, P. delhezi, P. palmas polli and P. weeksii (which has not yet come out of hiding) as well as one female Greenwoodochromis christyi, one male Gnathochromis permaxillaris (who won't come out of hiding cause of the G. christyi) and one male Neolamprologus marunguensis.

Buddy shots! These two seem to always be near one another.

Greenwoodochromis christyi

Neolamprologus marunguensis

Hoping to get some shots of the weeksii if and when it ever decides to come out and join the rest of the gang.
I'll be upgrading in time and hopefully by then the smaller senegals and endli will have grown out enough to be housed with the big kids.

Anyhoo thanks for looking!

Thanks!

nice tank! were you feeding carnivore pellets?

Nope, actually that's NLS Cichlasoma Formula (New Life Spectrum). We use NLS as the staple for all of our fish that will take prepared food.
They also get chopped frozen silversides and krill.
