Ornate Bichir

[topoftheline77]

How big do they get?
How much do they cost?
Can one live in a 75g with a Green Terror and a pike that won't get bigger than 10", and possibly a pleco of some sort?

Thanks
Mike

P.S.- I'm sure I will have more questions!

24 inches max

Seen them anywhere from 25 to 40 for small, more the bigger they get....

Green Terror - yes
Pike - depends on how aggro it is...most fish just ignore bichirs.
Pleco - Royals are good w/ bichirs cause they usually dont go for the slime coat, and get large enough for the bichir to not eat.

ask away w/ more!

Wow i didnt know they grow that big. How old do they get?

 

[beblondie]

15+ years is not uncommon

i thought they needed bigger then a 75gal., like a 125gal.? and i wouldnt risk an ornate just so i can get a pleco. (they are cool though)
