Senegal Bichir / Ropefish Tank

[Munger22391]

Hi everyone I just noticed there was a Polypterus section on this forum so I decided to join, I started off with one little senegal bichir from a lfs about a year ago and now have 2 and a ropefish (soon to be another ropefish when the store can order one) for a while I had random cichlids in the tank with them but it got to hard to feed my bichirs and they were getting to big and I knew they needed more room so a couple days ago I got rid of 7 cichlids and replaced my gravel with some sand and totally re did my tank. I took a short video to see what everyone thinks of my tank.

Nice tank and nice fish.... how big is the tank? And I can see the two cichlids... are those peacocks?

thanks, its a 55g for now I have a 75g but waiting until I move in a couple months to set it up. one of them is a peacock the orange one is a dragon blood, the other is a female kenyi. I had 10 cichlids in the tank a couple days ago and was breeding a few kinds but it was to hard to feed my bichirs so I only kept the 2 since they were the least aggressive
