ok, so i really want an ornate bichir.
I just need some info like:
:availability in Australia
: prices
: size
. the tank they will go into a 120G growout,
then to a 200G (i think thats it)
so yeah tell me what you know.

cheers

idk availability in australia, i bought mine in canada for $30.00, they get pretty big but size varies, but your 200G will be fine. umm they can be quite aggressive.. my 4" female killed my new 1.5" oscar, so make sure you get tankmates of the rite size to start with. But all in all i love her, they have great personality and love to explore

I saw a post from someone the other day in aus and i think he said they are quite rare so will probably be expensive too,but your tank will be fine when you find one or 5 lol

yeah, i dont mind paying up for somthing i want, but there is a limit.
surely theres an aussie member that keeps them, or any other type bichir,
just need a base line for the price
