New Senegal bichir

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Nice little Sen. Personally, I find nothing wrong with buying from chains. I know the, "Support your lfs" people will say different, but just because I buy from chains doesn't mean I don't shop at my lfs either. If you see something you like, go for it:)
 
I have a petsmart nearby, and I see senegal bichirs there very often, and very often sold out too! these fish do not stay long in the care of the store here, and I'd assume the same can be said about your petsmart too. That being said I do not see anything wrong with the little guy, just give him the proper nutrition and water quality, and make sure to keep the lid tight on the tank... this guy will be a pleasure to observe as he grows. good luck.
 
there were two of this size in a tank full of knife fish and tiget barbs, he was getting picked on pretty badly :( I saw this guy acting kind of off, like, unable to settle and if he did a barb would come nip his fins. I saw another one hiding inside a container, he looked like he was doing better so I asked for him, and when they went to net him, he just rolled over, sadly. I grabbed this guy in not much better shape, so yeah he was not doing well. However he does seem to be doing a lot better!
