saved a senegal

[Dr.B]

I believe it was probably both, a big box store doesnt feed these fish (sens especially) properly, the balas were swarming on him. He would have been dead by the next day, and it was in a tank that was only about 20 gallons, and thats a generous estimate. Probably 15. Like i said, he was being nipped and pushed around by the balas. And there was no hide in the tank either, only one rock. I didnt really want a senegal, but i love bichirs and couldnt leave one like that, i have the room for it so why not

yeah lol one of the guys i got my sens from thought that they will scavenge and eat anything that hits the ground. So he would feed them whatever the other fish were eating which was flakes most of the time.

It must be that time of year. The box store near me also had young senegals, $5 though.

I couldn't resist picking one up - it's been super easy since it was already eating pellets.

Mines been eating carni floating sticks (crushed up into appropriate sized chunks) and dried brine shrimp. I never had trouble w/ feeding Senegal bichirs. Not very picky, probably becayse they were broken by the people who bred them
