should i buy it>??

[Livelife]

Theres an albino longfinned senegal in my LFS its about 8 inches it has 1 eye do you think i should buy it or do you think it will not get enough food.
im putting it into a 220 with a 40breeder sump and an fx5 runing the tank
tankmates are:

two jack dempseys 1.5 inches
two oscars 3i nches
1 polypterus sengal 3inches
1 tiger shovel nose 4inches
1 pbass ornio (i think) 4inches
1 pike cichlid 3 inches
1 spotted gar 3 inches

you think hell have a chance i hand feed him at the store but if i do leave food down for the stingrays hes in with he does go after it it just takes a few minutes in a 90 gallon tank

eyes don't really play a crucial role in bichirs life.

yeah i dont think his having one eye would hinder him to much and also you might want to watch him with the dempseys, when i added my bgk to the tank i also added some rosies that i had quarantined so the bgk wouldnt be the only "new" fish, and they were gone the next morning and the largest sen was only 4in at the time n roses were 1.5-2in (they were meant as food anyways but i didnt think that any of the fish were big enough to eat them yet so this is why it surprised me)

I have a one eyed lap just cause it was a male and I had a female. Don't see them too much around here.

it's got one eye. they should discount the heck out of it. i'm not sure it's worth $300 with 2 eyes.
