Senegal tank size?

[corrupt_puffer]

I've been looking into senegal bichirs, and pretty much all info I've found is conflicting, other than diet. For tank size, I have seen everything from 30 gallons to 100 gallons. My question is, to all bichir keepers, what would be the ideal size aquarium for one?
Thanks!

30g would be the minimum.

Personally, I would say 55 gallon minimum. My sens used every inch of my 75 gallon. Despite being the smallest bichir species they are also the most active by far

Yes agree as a minimum. If you get (and most likely will) a cb sen then the chances of it getting larger then 8" is relatively small. That said polys are like potato chips it's hard to stop at 1. A 75g is one of the best sizes for most upper jaw polys especially sens.

It really depends on how many you have. If just one then I´d recommend a 30 at min. But I have two full grown in a 65 no problem. Bio-load is manageable and they are, as Hendre said, probably the most active species.
