I was just wondering which species are more active? I currently own 2, an Ornate and a Endli, and the Ornate is definitly more Active. From what I've heard Senegals are the most active and I think I also read that retropinnis are fairly active (may have to correct me there). So tell me what you guys think, which species are the most active?
Most Active Species of Bichirs?

This have been ask many time but give you an answer anyway.
Bichirs activity level varied within individual not within species. There are lazy sene and also hyper active sene for example. So it's not within species but individual bichir. Another thing that plays an important part are environment, metabolism, food, stress, tankmates and time. Those keys makes the activity level of the bichir.

More bichirs!!!! Or see my video in youtube or at my signature at bcaquaria. Click the 3rd link.
its not a matter of which tankmates that goes well with either active or less active bichirs. But rather which one that don't harass your bichirs. If you look at the media lounge then you'll see many people keep their bichirs with other aggressive fishes successfully in the same tank. What you should note is how they do it?You'll be surprised that even some of most aggressive species which should be kept alone is actually in same tank with bichirs and everything seems to be fine. I've seen a giant wolf fish being kept together with a sen in a big tank, and still the sen tried to steal the food from the wolf fish.
Either way, bichirs are always better being kept on their own, this way it reduces the chance of food competitions in your tank.
