should i mix 5 inch with 8 inch bichir?

[DPHAN86]

i have a 5 inch delhezi in my 30 gallon and i want to add him in with my 8 inch endlicheri within my 125 gallon. do you think they will have any problems?

That Del looks smaller than 5"....But I'd fatten the Del up a bit more still looks risky IMO

I wouldnt. I just added 2 8" dels and an 8" ornate to a tank that had a 4" ornate in it already and...just checked on them after about 3 hrs of them in the new tank to find the 4" halfway down the 8" ornates throat. got him out and hes fine, but hes going to a growout tank for the next few months.

good luck!

Yup.I agree with their suggestion not to put your smaller delhezi with your larger and very beautiful endlicher bichir(With very nice markings)to avoid being bullied by your larger bichir and avoid predation at the same time.Although I think by the time your delhezi is fat and large enough,your larger p.endlicheri endlicheri will be twice as large.
