[Betta Universe]

Hello monsterfish family I'm currently trying to find a tank mates for my albino Senegal Bichir, preferably two of the same species that has some pretty colors and swims around a lot, tank is a fully planted 100 gallon with frilled java ferns, Amazon sword plants, rosette sword plants, asian rede plants and java moss, just need to bring some colorful life to it all

Ps. If the recommendations are exotic looking that's even better

I was thinking maybe an Oscar but I know they can be super aggressive and don't want to risk my Bichir being hurt or killed also I forgot to mention his size, he's roughly around 5 1/2 inches long and has some nice girth to him (my fiancee named him falkor )

This is Falkor

You can try an African riverine setup in there. You could possibly do more sens, as well as African butterfly fish, leopard ctenopoma, smaller synodontis cats, and a pair of kribensis cichlids.
I wouldn’t do an Oscar - too big and messy. They aren’t super aggressive (for a cichlid) but do have a very large mouth capable of eating a smaller bichir. It will definitely say no to your plants though.

Whatever you decide to put in the aquarium with the albino Senegal make sure it doesn't out compete it for food. Also not small enough to swallowed by the bichir.

Hujeta and ctenopoma are great with sens along with other small polys like delhezi

 

[FrancisFloe]

Synodontis nigriventris/ eupterus maybe, or other larger Synodontis species

I would not do this, I had a large syno with an endi and it would attack the endi and leave bite marks all over it.

+1 to the hujeta. Great top dweller to compliment the bottom-dwelling bichirs.Very peaceful as well.
