Haven't posted on MFK in a long time. Been keeping cichlids for many years but wanting to switch over to a predator tank with a focus on bichirs. I'm setting up a new tank (240G - 8'x2'x2'). Can I keep lower jaw species such as endlicheri in this tank permanently or would they outgrow it? Some of what I've read online suggests that my tank is even too small for ornate bichirs. I'd like to keep bichirs that don't hide all the time and that have enough room to swim around (as opposed to just sit in one spot).
Endlicheri and ornates are the species available to me right now that's why I'm asking about these two.
Any advice would be helpful.
