What's the smallest size bichir that can go with a 23"-24" Congicus(it's thicker than a soda can)? Would a bichir around 10" be safe with a 23"-24" Congicus? :popcorn:
 
Hao, planning a little gamble are we? Can't wait to see what you are planning........ I graduated my Ansorgii/Endi from the growout to the main when he hit 7 inches. Despite my nervousness all has been well. Big Ornate is pushing 22-23 inches, Weeksii 21.5" and Congicus 22". Granted I have never fed any of my poly's live food, however in hindsight some of the smelts I feed are around the 6" mark.

Good luck and share!

Yikes. That's scary 7" Bichir with the big boy/girls that take down 6" smelts. I have AnsorgiixEndli @ 9", WC Senegal @ 11", and Lapradei @ 9". They will look like bigger smelts next to Godzilla. :O Godzilla took down a 6" SB albino sen at 21"(forgot to feed). Godzilla can take down 5" smelts with ease.
 
On the flipside if it does not work, instead of a 24" Godzilla with the girth of a soda can you will have 25" beast with a girth of a soda bottle :)

I would think a nice and fat one at 10in would be fine my 10in sen did fine with the big guys,till he was drowned by my bufunias catfish.

Oh. Thanks for the input! Godzilla's(23"-24" Congicus) head is 5" long if that helps. :O

More extreme protein... Godzilla got a growth spurt after eating the SB albino sen. :( It was sad to see but at least it went to good waste.
 
I get my tilapia and smelts from local Asian supermarket. $1.99 per lb for tilapia if on sale. $1.18 per lb for smelts if on sale. Regular price is about 70c to $1 more.
