Senegal Bichir

[sweetdreams12477]

Can I have a Senegal Bichir in a Mixed African Cichlid tank. Tank Size will be 110 Gallon?

good question

Seen it done with large fronts, but not 100 percent sure... what is with it?

I was wrong my new tank will be 125 gallons. Currently I have 12 African cichlid in my 55 gallon untill I have the 125 set-up. I know I have 1 peacock and 3 yellow labs the rest I think may be mixed, but unsure. And there will be 2 Senegal Bichir if possible. The 2 Senegal Bichir are my in-law and the want them gone. If not then I guess I may have to set up another tank

The 2 Senegal Bichir are about 3" or so. and All the African Cichlid are about 1 1/2" - 2 1/2".

yes you can imo and ime. bichirs are supposed to be able to handle water of most conditions, temps and quality.
ive kept a senegal with africans and american cichlids. only thing you gotta worry about is fin nipping either from the bichir annoying the fish or the cichlids just being cichlids.

Some birchirs will be able to eat smaller ACs when it gets bigger. Keep it w/ the africans for a while then you have a reason to buy another tank.

I would be more worried about the Polys being picked on than the other way around.
