I was going through my local fish store and came across what I think is an Ornate Bichir. The guy said he's had him for a while and needed to move it so he offered him up for $20. I've been considering getting a Bichir but wasn't quite ready with tank space. So for now he will need to grow out in my empty 29 gallon (I'll be cleaning out a 75 gallon within a couple weeks). Since this guy is tiny I didn't want to add in with my green terrors as he looks like he could easily be lunch.
So how quick do these guys typically grow? How long will he be ok in a 75 gallon before I need to move him again? Is a 90 enough or does he need a 6 foot tank? I didn't want to jump into getting this guy without more research, but I couldn't pass up that deal.
