Does anyone have any experience with keeping banjo catfish and bichirs together?
I have a 5.5 inch Senegalus and an opaline gourami. The gourami and bichir have been together for 3 months, so I think they are ok(at least for now). The gourami has shown aggression towards other fish(he seems to be doing alright with the bichir though). I would guess that the gourami wouldn't bother a banjo cat too much, because he seems to go largely by sight. The bichir would have me worried though because they go by smell. The bichir has already ate a few of his tank mates. They are currently in a 20 gal long. I'm considering moving them to a 55.
I'm not sure how big the banjo would be, because most LFS say I would need to order one. There is one store that says they have a few banjos, so I'm going to stop by and have a look at them. I'll post their size when I get back. Do you think I should try adding a banjo or wait until I have another aquarium?

I did the same thing 11 yr ago I had 3-4 inch Banjo cat thick ones to and then I put in a 12inch P.Endlicheri and he found 3 of them and had a snack and 1 I took out of his mouth.
