Polypterus with Oscar and FM?

[Matty6477]

I get what you mean, I've heard how greedy Oscars are. I will be contacting my LFS tomorrow morning, to see what Bichirs they stock and if needs be, if they can order them in for me

Great stuff! I actually need to make sure my other shy fish get food with my senegals that gobble everything, or at least the one. The second is still settling in

It took some time to find them over here, I hope you have better luck

Thanks for your help everyone I am really looking forward to getting my first Bichir

Then wait for number 2 and 3 and 4.

I would just be careful of overstocking in a tank that size with an O

I will be keeping a close eye on stocking levels to ensure it doesn't become overstocked what are Bichirs like in terms of bio load? I ask because I am potentially going right be using 2 canister filters.

 

[Hendre]

They are messy carnivores like O's so bioload is something. Maybe get a good HOB as well if you want
