[ghostknifefish0909]

these are usaully senegal bichirs.

they need a 55 gallon or more imo.

definitely senegal bichir. don't be fooled into thinking they are palmas, since they are often labeled as dinosaur palmas

 

[livebearerfreak]

ok thanks so a no no for my tank ( gonna get a 55 for my room in teh near future * within 2 months *

 

[livebearerfreak]

how big do they get

Actually i think walmart calls a dragon goby a dinosaur eel. I have never seen a bichir at walmart..but they might carry them in some places. Dragon gobys are brackish, so if this is the "dinosaur eel" you cant keep it in your tank.

no, dragon gobies are usually labled correctly. I have seen senegals labled as dinosaurs in almost every major company (petco, petsmart, walmart...)

You are probably right, it is just I have never seen a walmart carry a senegal, or even a bichir.

Better wait till you can afford it.
Don't hurt as bad lossing a con vs. something more costly....

Having enough problems with what you have......

Yup they are bichirs for sure. Ive seen them there and every time it makes me mad because they are IMO some of the coolest fish there are.
