Medication
Bichirs in general are a hardy fish however if you need to treat a tank with
bichirs in it, some medications are not tolerated well ,particulary copper based ones such as malachite green, victoria green, methyline blue, and formalin based medications.

Below is a list of medications and dosages.
formalin based medication 1/2 directed dose
methyline blue 1/2 directed dose
malachite green 1/2 directed dose
parasite guard full directed dose
metronidazole full diercted dose
maracyn-2 full directed dose
maracyn full directed dose
kanacyn full directed dose
melafix full directed dose
pimafix full directed dose
aquarisol 1/2-2/3 directed dose
quickcure 1/2-2/3 directed dose
neo-sporin or poly-sporin as topical antiseptic
As with any medication watch for any signs of istress.
