I want to see all of your 55g bichir tanks. It may give me some ideas, also I want to see how some of you use the space.
I'll post mine up as soon as it's full w/ fish...

Let's see your 55g setups

IMO, 55g tanks make for terrible polypterus tanks, too narrow, at least for long term use, but for grow-out they're okay.
My first polypterus ever was an ornate, I got it when I was in high school living with my dad and didn't know much about polypterus other than they reminded me of coelacanths and I liked them.
I kept it in my 'big' tank which was a 55g. That was back in 2002:

I have changed much.. Updated pictures coming soon. Substrate didnt bother him but he had to really sniff for his pellets, still found them in under 2 minutes. Highly recommend canister filter surface skimmer (fluval).
Yeah, they're a bit narrow, but for the smaller species I think they're alright.Cohazard;2882795; said:
I won't be putting any Ornates in, that's for sure.
Nice setups everyone (wookish and Cohazard)!
Here's a quick shot of mine from a few months ago. It's got a little less decor now, and there might not be any polys in it in a while either.
