Hi everyone, just wanted to ay hello to all you good people.. .Been reading the varius threads for the oast couple days and learning quite a lot... Ive had fish for years, but never seen any bichir for sale in all that time. that is till a few months ago when i saw little 2-3 inch senegals at pets at home (kinda like petco i guess) needless to say i had to have 1. Only had a 32 gallon planted community so had to get a new tank (good excuse, no?) So got a 65 gallon which is set up as a bigger fish community- all over 6 inch when grown... filament barbs hoplo cats firemouths leopard bushfish... that kind of thing. Anyway, senegal looking good and growing well (about 6 inch now) So, one day im down lfs and what do i see? 4 inch ornate, got to have it lol, so now i have 2! didnt realise id so rarely see the ornate, but i guess it makes it all the better when he does show his face? So now im thinking about a bigger tank, next year, most likely a 135 0r 180 and i figure that will make a good final size tank? pleae correct me if im wrong, obviously i want to do the best thing here... so now im looking at a mail order site and somehow i order a delhezi approx 5 inch!!! From what ive read on here and elsewhere the 3 of them should get on ok? and as long as they arent going hungry should do ok with other fish? again, if im wrong, please jump in. I d have a question, if anyone can help.. regarding feeding... the 2 i have both are eating, currently being fed krill, small frozen fish the name of which escapes me right now, mealworms and bloodworm that are put in fro other fish... I just got some earthworms which i will be trying too. Once a week i get live river shrimp, have seen the ornate eating one, but the senegal doesnt seem intersted, im not too worried about that though. senegal will half heartedly eat te odd catfish pellet, but doesnt seem to enamoured by them,,, not sure about the ornate, cus im sure he does most of his foraging at night. ive also just ordered some hikari sinking carnivore pellets to see how they go down. anyway back to the point. i saw a video today of a really cool tank with several polypterus and they were feeding from the surface, floating pellets i guess. I recently bought some hikari floating carnivore sticks thinking they would be a good thing, but when i put them in they just float around for a while until they eventually get picked off by the barbs.. i guess what i am asking is, is there a knack to get the polys surface feeding? it would be nice to know that i could fall back on pellet food if for some reason i couldnt get frozen. I tried 'wafting' a stick around in the water to spread the scent, but the senegal, who was right under my hand, just looked at me like i was a fool lol.... Anyway,. thanks for listening and sorry if ive rambled on
