these bichirs with GT

[peewee]

i'm planning to add a couple of gt's with my bichirs ranging from 9 to 12 inches. is it a good idea? the gt's are both males and are 4 to 5 inches in length.

anyone?

Green terror right? Yep should be fine as long as the bichirs are not starving.

How many GT's exactly? If it is 2 I think so but it still depends on tank size and the fact that every fish has its own personality. You could get lucky & get a really nice GT like mine who has never had an aggression problem or be unlucky & get a insane killing machine...

i'm pretty sure a 150 would be big enough? there's also a fei feng in there though. and also 2 blood parrots.

I just had a bichir eat a tank mate that i NEVER imagined it could swallow. Keep them well fed.

I don't know how well two male GTs will get along, but mine does fine with a delhezi and senegalus (he ignores them).

 

[peewee]

but you also got 2 males?

I've tried keeping cichlids with bichirs a few brief occasions, and though they never really damaged the bichirs, I was always really worried about their general displeasure and nipping toward them (Though these were JD's and firemouths).
