Ornate Bichir Tankmates / 120 stocking ideas

[cichlid_starter]

I'm currently resealing a 5ft 120gal and when I get it up and running I want to do an Ornate. What would be some cool tank mates to go with it?

more bichirs, knife fish, dats, and large ctenopoma to name a few

You should be fine with fish that arent too small to be eaten or overly aggressive

Gars and bichirs make an awesome combo

BICHIRS ARE FUN TO WATCH SWIMMING TOGETHER AND OSCARS ARE VERY HAPPY TO BE LIVING TOGETHER

5' tank is a little small for any of the gar sp. might work for a year or 2

18 wide is to narrow for most gar.

red tail payara or silver dollars would be good.

 

[peewee]

african brown knife. some medium sized characins will do.

 

[spwd]

More bichirs,a few tinfoils or geos or a couple of dats.

how bout ornate, electric catfish, long fin oscar, leporinus and anostomus? Too much? Would the mix work?
