Senegal bichir diet?

[ocellatus]

Fat sens are so adorable. They look like the lovechildren of a waterdragon and a manatee.

Lol, that's a great visual.

I'd kept my sens 4 years, but had to re home them when we moved. Awesome pair which bred without my knowledge in a poly tank. I noticed wigglers when vacuuming gravel one day. Gathered a few but lost the fry as I wasn't prepared for them.

I feed my polys cut up massivore pellets, red wigglers, and tilapia. A warning the massivore will smell a little, but its good for them so I don't mind

Most Senegalus don't get beyond 9" or 10". Mine is a bit of an anomaly at 11". I bought she and her brother when they were close to the 2" mark. That was about eight years ago. Her brother was actually bigger when he jumped last month (over a foot). I was in the process of cycling their new 180 gallon home when he jumped.

My apologies, let me clarify that answer a bit. Depending on whether hes a PETCO special or a WC sen, he will grow between 10-14 inches haha.

My first was from pet smart he hit 14" before he tank jumped (have new lids now) I was heart broken .... sadly he is the only male I have had my other 3 are female.

lol petco special is basically saying your sen is probably commercially bred for sale and mass/inbreeding tend to mean those sens don't reach the sizes that WC sens will reach.

My bad

The "rarest poly" thread was mentioning a super-sen from a place in the world that is dangerous for socio-economic reasons. Would love to see one of those guys!
