Had an early day today, so I went one of the LFS's today after work. After doing much research, I decided that I wanted a bichir and a knife to eventually go into my 210. The bigger and better LFS only carries big knives and no bichirs, so PetSmart it was.

Came home with a 2 1/2 inch African Knife, and a 3 inch Senegalus. Right now they are in my 30 gallon, just to let them grow some more. After about an hour with the tank lights off and the hall light on, I put in a cube of thawed blood worms. Both of them gobbled them up like they haven't eaten in days. I think I'm off to a great start.

*edit

Will post pics in a few minutes, have to upload them first.

Thank you. I have a DSLR that takes up to 2.5 pics per second. I just sat in front of the tank, taking roughly 60 pictures. These were the best. ;)
 
I like it ...similar to the spray and pray technic with firearms!:D :ROFL:
 
lol, thats why, i normally take about 10-12 and pic out the best 5-6 which never works.
