Want to keep a few bichir... not sure about tank mates

[synodontisjack]

bichirs have no real use for a tall tank the 55 will be much better.

wait sorry just wondering here but in your sig, you have a TSN, you dont have that in a 55g right? And ya go for the 55g they dont really use height that much

lupin helped me out i am gonna do clown loaches, senegal, delhezi, ornate when the loaches get 6 inches, african leaf fish, and a peacock eel in a 180

its a 30x18 footprint unless I sell him my 55, then its a well...55

Umm.... I wasn't going to get bichir for that tank..... I wanted to get a bigger tank.

So it sounds like I should just go with severum, I'm ok with that because I think they're cool.
So maybe just some severum, fire eel, bgk, and Polypterus: delhezi, ornatipinnis, senegalus, & weeksii

I was thinkin, maybe I could get a 210 (72 x 24 x 30)

Q's: How many of each fish?
Can I keep ALL those fish together?

Thanks

if you want a 210 i'd go for some gars or dats or somethin

 

[Mobius1230]

Well, how about same q's for a 210 AND a 150. Just to compare.

i'd say you'd be fine with those in that tank.
maybe add another bichir(albino sen or something) just make sure the bichirs can get some food at the bottom

So basically, I want a tank w/bichir. How many bichir can I fit in a 210, or a 150? I'd like to also have bgk and severum aswell. I'd like to know how many for those sizes too.
