Senegal Bichir + Rainbow Snakehead..?

[Amaroq]

Is it possible for the 2 to live comfortably in a 55 Gallon together? They both grow to about the same size (The bichir should get a little bigger) the rainbow SH grows to 8 inchs around there from what ive read and the Senegal gets around 10-12 inchs, should i be worried about the Bichir eating the SH because Bichirs eat fish smaller then them but i dont think it would be able to fit the SH in its mouth but i could be wrong...


Thanks,
Spencer

Anything is possible. Just don't be surprised if the poly is discovered dead one day. SHs have a rep for turning on tankmates out of the blue.

if i member correctly rainbows aren't all that aggressive....but still its a SH so keep an eye on them!

its possible, just keep them well fed to lessen agression, cause rainbows IME are pretty timid...heres mine with a palmas polli, too bad my polli died of swim bladder problems...

well i wish i could get some sh in not nebraska.....

anyway, you didn't notice any problems with the polli and sh?

 

[deangelo]

no problems..the SH didnt mind the polli it would joust more with its fellow SH and completely ignore the polli..even if the polli would squeeze itself into the SH hiding places...
