Hello,

What's the minimum tank size for a senegal, and then for two.

same question for ornate birchir.
 
i'd say a 55g
 
I remember reading in a sticky somewhere that a 30 gallon would suffice. is this true? and does that mean for a single senegal birchir?
 
i suppose a 30 might work, but remember that senegals get about 12"

I believe there is a sticky in this section that could answer those questions easily.

for a single smaller species of bichir a 30 is fine of course bigger is better but that wasn't the question.For a pair of senegals a 40 Gallon Breeder 36x18x16 or a standard 50 Gallon 36x18x18.Ornates 125 Gallon 72x18x22-Anne
