Ornate Bichir right for me?

[davidefc]

ok ive got a 120gallon 4by2by2 glass tank and its going to be stocked with semi-agressive cichlids like jd,gt,green texas(maybe),2fm,2sajica,2ellioti(simular as firemouth) with dithers like gaint danios and Puntius denisonii(redline torpedo barb), redtailed black shark and maybe a pleco if it doesnt like sucking on slimecoat so with all fish to consider would a Ornate bichir be ok? and does it HAVE to be fed feeders or would it take krill and pellets?

all i know is it does not have to be fed feeders

mabye pellets but krill is a good food try pieces of fish the tanks probly big enough but seems a little croweded plus some of those cichlids like the green terror jack dempsy and texas arn't semi aggressive but more aggressive to very aggressive depending on the fish but if there not to aggressive it should be okay but your cichlids might fight in the long run
ohh and no fish has or really shold be feed feeder if they will eat other foods and yes polys will eat alot of other foods

ok great just need to find one now haha does anyone in the uk know were to get one? how big do these guys get i herd 19" but is that in the wild or in a tank?
about the cichlids iam going to try and "crowd"ca/sa cichlids and if it doesnt work i have spare tanks where they could fit in.
i said about the feeders as its not the fish for my tank if it needs feeders
