my first bichirts.

[ejwp]

Today I finally received my ornate and delhezi. They are my first bichirs I have owned. Also got lucky and they survived. For some reason they didn't make the two day delivery so they had to spend Sunday in a bag making it about 96 hours.

Well here are a few pictures. Sorry the tank is a mess and all photos were done on my phone.

In a bucket I dumped prime in the bucket then them and their water cuz both bags are leaking and didn't wanna drag the water into the house.

Some in the tank

Ornate reflexion off glass

Looking good

Please seriously consider moving the Pleco out of that tank as they invariably end up sucking on the bichir. There is a thread about this already. You can search MFK for more info.

Good luck

I think I may have read the post. I tried to read as much as possible on them. I seemed to get from other threads that there is a good chance of it, but some members have had luck with plecos and bichirs.

I have been watching closley. I have two other tanks so the first time I see it sucking a bichir it will be moved.

Make sure you have a tight lid on and cover all the openings...my Ornate and Sen made a jump but didnt make it like Willy

Thanks I will check all lids, and pleco was removed.

Thanks. I really am enjoying watching them swim, eat, and rough house with my synodontis cats. But addiction I hope not at at moment. The boss may not be to happy about that and I may have to give up an old addiction for a new one.
