Lap saying hello

[Cosmic_surfer]

My male lap bichir saying hello. Trying to get a photo of the queen ornate bichir (owns the tank), but she is quite camera shy.

Here is the queen coming out to say hello. I got lucky here, she came out to eat.

Can we get full tank shot? Curious to see the whole thing.

I'm embarrassed lol, that 15" ornate and the rest are in a 55 gallon. It isn't anything special, it is my first tank into the fish keeping experience. Most of these fish will be going into the 125 that I have been cycling for 3 weeks.

Here is the 55 in its entirety, on the right you can see the roughly 7-8" ghost knife.

The tank is slightly over stocked. Current inhabitants

-14-15" ornate bichir
-11" lap bichir
-14" fire eel
-7" ghost knife
-8" albino chocolate pleco
-2" blue panaque pleco
-4" royal pleco
-6" Bala shark
-5 clown loaches
-3 Rafael cats
-12 rosy barbs
-2 Denison barbs
-7" lima shovel cat

Edit: the green breeder box in the upper right has a 3.5" Senegal bichir, didn't want him getting lunched by the bigger bichirs.

Fire eel saying hello. I just got out a tape measure... big lady might only be 13", I know she is slightly longer than the width of the tank.
