Thanks!!
 
:WHOA: that is one smokin' hot tank you got there 408smokin :D i love the gars bichirs combo you got going along with the jar :drool:
 
I recently saw a senegal bichir in the LFS.. it was just a tiny thing only about 2.5". I am going to be getting a 150 gal tank in the next two weeks tomove my community tank into. There will be plenty of room for new fish.

I'd like to get the bichir, confident in the size of my free swimming fish. The only fish I worry could be eaten are my 3 pictus cats and my eclipse cat. Anyone tried or successfully kept these together?

Wow and they don't pick on the bichir ?!

They completely ignore them - though I thk the Bichir thks he is a cichlid. He eats pellets and at times is hanging out in the cave with my Huge Trimac-lol. Fish are so unpredictable.

My 11" senegal took down a 3" pictus cat he was temporarily housed with :irked:

408, what are the size of those bichirs? Why is it everyones poly looks so big on camera and mine 6 in del looks so tiny.
I have two biggest Endlis in there about 22" inches.. The rest of them are about 16-20".. I have a small lap about 12" and that is the smallest one in there!
