New large Senegal bichir

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Very pretty sen! I love these guys. I know they've been farmed to hell, but this was THE fish that brought me to MFK all those years ago.

I'm curious about the relationship with the ornate though. I am currently growing out a del. bichir, and just last week ordered an albino as well as an ornate. My hope was that they could live together once the babies reach a suitable size.

Are your two bichirs fighting?
 
That is a nice sized sen and IMO and steal for it

Just picked up this sen for $15 at my local fish. measured and knocking right at 9". he is in my 180g tank and so far he isn't getting along to well with my 13" ornate.

Interesting you say this, my 8" cb sen was the meanest bichir I owned until i bought my Koliba lap. The sen would chase my african aro until it was over 9" or so, and nipped the fins of my ornate until it was 12". Now the only thing he does to the ornate is try to mate with her:confused:

Also nice pickup, there is an 10-11" sen at a lfs but they want 50 dollars for it... I know thats a rare size for sens nowadays but its missing its tubercles on its nose. Its been there for a week and if its there next week ill probably cave. Im too addicted to these fish.

I have a 9 inch delhizi who lives with two 22 inch ornates no problem. But they have lived together since the del was bigger than the ornates.

how old are your ornates? also thats awesome. they don't fight any? and do they ever hide together, share territories, etc?
