What do you know about these fish?

[BALLER34IG]

I'm going to be getting an african butterfly fish and either a ornate bichir or delhezi bichir. What do you know about these 3 fish and what are your experiences with them.

Haven't had any ABF exp. But bichir care is relatively straightforwards. pH 6.7-8, feed decently sized pellets, min tank size 50 gallons.

BICHIRS ARE ESCAPE ARTISTS - don't trust their innocent look... close all escape routes - yes, even the smallest of smallest.

I know they are i had one escape. I'm looking for what people think about these fish and if i should go with something else instead of these 3 fish

what tank size is this for? what tankmates? that determines whether they are good options

 

[BALLER34IG]

75 gallon tank with the following fish
-2 convicts
-1 firemouth
-1 senegal bichir
-1 eclipse catfish
-There is a arowana but he is being removed

Will be moved to largere tank once it out grown by the fish

I'd go with the polypterus as they are more sturdy and won't be easy to pick on

try a FW sawfish! JK, fire or track eel, they are pretty neat.

Beware the Polypterus addiction won't stop there.
