New to Bichirs

[JML1997]

How many bichirs could i keep in a 110 gallon(60"X18"X24"), and what species? Filtration is a AC110, Jebo 839, and possibly a Fluval 304 if the deal goes through.. I Already have 2 Delhezi. Also, what's the best to feed a stubborn bichir, it's about 2"

If you go with the smaller upper jaw species, you could keep at least 6 in there.
At 2", try bloodworms and frozen mysis shrimp.

When my poly was small I used to dice up earthworms, black worms, and tilapia fillets small enough to fit in his mouth. Just make sure not to overfeed

My deals were the easiest to feed. They ate everything. But I found that even my more stubborn bichirs like my endli couldn't resist any time of fish filet or earthworms. Bichirs can smell better than they can see and fresh meat has a strong scent in the water. But like the guy above me said don't over feed because leftovers will rot quick and foul up your water faster than you think

Shrimp/Prawn won't leave any poly hungry

My bichirs love the beef blood frozen cubes from the pet store. They also suprised me. the guy at the pet store said his like zuchini. I gave mine some of the inside soft pieces and they nibble at it and play with the pieces as well.......
