currently, I have 2 tanks with bichirs
one is a 125 w/ 5 12-14" bichirs and 2 13-14" gar
the other is a 210 w/ 4 6-8" bichirs, a male and female motaguense @ 4", a 3" oscar and an 11" BGK. Had a couple 7" tigs and a couple 4" hystrix in with them for a long time, too as well as many other fish in the past.
bichirs get along w/ just about everything. Gar don't go well w/ too many fish, so that's why it's only bichir and gar in the 125. That and it's almost overloaded.

I have 2 birchirs, a 12" Ornate and 11" Endli. Thinking of adding a 7" Delhezi I saw at my friend's LFS. They are housed in my 225g with a 13" male Mpimbwe Frontosa, a pair of GT's, 6" RTC/TSN, 11" Tigrinus and 2 x 7" ID sharks. The RTC/TSN will be thrown in with the big boys once he/she grows up and for the ID's I'll probabely trade them in and look for a Paroon Shark. Anyhow both my birchirs have no problems with anyone. Even when I had my Aros, RTC and Pbass's in the 225g they never seemed to bother the birchirs. As long as they are big enough I think there's alot of choices with tankmates for them.
mine are in with a h. psittacus, 2x severums, svnei pike, a flagtail, indo dat, and a bristlenose pleco. in the near future im moving them to a different tank with just them and the dat
