what do you think would go well with bichirs as a tankmate?

[Gargantuan Guppy]

hey, another thread, i just purchased one delhezi and one senegalus approximately 7 inches for the delhezi and about 5 inches on the senegalus. they are both in a 75 gallon and doing well, active, already feeding on pellets, i was just wanting to know what YOUR thoughts were on what would be a pretty nice addition to the bichirs tank as far as it goes with fish, ((besides cichlids and other bichirs lol))

for example:clown knife etc.





anywho curious to hear what you have to say

 

[puppy_wounder]

a clown knife cant go in a 75 but a african brown knife can.

 

[oscarbichir]

there is alot of options what type of fish would you like a school or a few solo fish big or small?

puppy_wounder: yeah your right, longterm clown knife can't be in a 75 gal

oscarbichir: eh probably a few solo fish, preferibly large

If you're planning to upgrade the tank, i would go with:

Florida/tropical gar (if legal in your state)

Datnoids

Cichlids are still a good choice (gold saum, angelfish, oscars, etc...)

BGK
