So how big do bichir get exactly and what size tank is needed for them to get that size?

 

[Infblue]

depending on species ~12" to ~3' (wild max size recorded). they tend not to get as big in captivity. but if you keep one say, in a 1000gal tank, maybe it'll attain the max recorded size...who knows.

lol a guy could get lost in a 1000 gallon tank

you think you can get away with a statement like that without showing pictures just kidding, but really, share pictures.

just out of curiousity... how many dorsal spine finlets does your bichir have? lapredei bichirs look very similiar. i will be able to tell for sure which one you have after pics.
