What do you guys keep with your bichirs??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Id go with this setup in da 90:
3x tinfoils
yur bichirs
1x bgk
3 large geophagus
 
in my 350...
bichir
fire eel
tire track
2 large plecos
5 large id sharks
purple spotted goby
pictus cat

i had a golden nugget pleco that my id's ate. the unfortunate thing was that he was sold to me as a golden pleco which grows to be a large pleco, gold nuggets never get bigger than a few inches. he never grew and recently became food. i will be putting the goby and pictus cat in a different tank due to this same reason....they fit in the sharks mouths.
other than that, everyone gets along great.
 
Tin foils are cool I like the idea especially for some movement in the tank. I think they get a bit large though don't they ? Id like to keep the focus on the bichirs while still having some added movement. I also love eartheaters but its a bare bottom tank. If they could handle that id grab some. A BGK would be awesome too but my water is too hard and has a ph of 8.3

I appreciate all the help and suggestions folks I really do. Hope it doesn't look like im shooting down your efforts to help.

I have my Enid with a Trimac, Midas, Red Devil and Dovii cichlid
Wow and they don't pick on the bichir ?!
 
I keep mine with a juvi cichla ocellaris, which has survived from my endlis for being too small as a tankmate.
 
I am sorry I don't understand what you meant GaRniac.
