Are you talking about Gobiodes broussonetti? If so, it is brackish water so you can't have it. If you dedicate that tank to bichirs and eels, what will happen to the other fish?

they are a brackish fish. actually a gobie.

"dragon eel" is a fish that will eventually need brackish.. I would say no and stick with true bichirs instead.

 

[Dreamsofpeace54]

the eel you are referring too prefer brackish to full salt as adults. and they can get 2ft+ certainly a nono for a 29

 

[dragonfish]

If you are talking about the dragon or violet goby, not compatible in the long run. It's brackish. Is this what you are talking about?

ok so then how does this sound 2 or 3 more sengel bichir?? so 4 total for the 29 and the tiger barbs as dithers??? DANG BICHIR ADDITION

No, CB. The tiger barbs will only end up eaten by the bichir. Your tank should have only one bichir, nothing else. Bear in mind a 12-inch fish needs plenty of space. Four IMO is cramping the compartment.

You only considered the current size. What about the adult size? What about your plans to upgrade? Besides as pointed out, this fish cannot be kept in freshwater conditions.
