mixing bichirs

[rory_068]

sorry if this has been asked a few times
i have 2x 8''-10'' senagals and a 10'' delhizi that i need to move out of a tank
would i be better off puting them with a 4'' albino senegal or a 18''+ pair of endlis
any help would be good

You can do both... but I prefer to put those w/ the smaller ones...

I'd be worried about both, to be honest...
If you put them with the smaller ones, I can almost guarantee the smaller ones will be eaten. If you put them with the bigger ones there's a chance of them being eaten, maybe not as large as the chance of the smaller ones being eaten, but still a really large chance. If at all possible, I wouldn't do either...

You might be able to get away putting them with the smaller ones, but I'd be worried for the smaller ones. I have a mix with the largest being 8" and the smallest being 4" The smaller one was introduced recently and it had it's tail bitten after the first day, but seems to be doing okay now.

Well it's all up to you... Actually its a do or die situation... But in my experience, I manage to put 3 baby Delhezi(2-3") with a 12" bichirs...

Just keep them well fed... for them not to eat their own species...

the tanks fully planted so lots of hidy holes
and id say the biggest bichirs would only be 8''
