I'm all about biotopes and all about bichir, but honestly a bichir biotope could prove to be a pretty boring display. Or to put it in a better, different way; it would be very difficult to do one that would both look good and allow you to see the fish.
I know very little about bicher, so excuse my ignorance but I must ask, why would it be so difficult?
From the little I do know is that they have a huge distribution.
Senegal bichirs are found in 26 different countries across Africa, so I have read.
There are even species from lake tanganynika .
Am I missing something? I presume they mainly inhabit the shallows due to their adaptions for land? Is their habitat really that much of a niche that they can be found with no other aquarium fish?
I'm keen to learn more about this subject if anyone has the answers.
Jaws, sorry for the derail.
