May be next year. He.he.he. In Malaysia is about 10.30 pm, 1 and half hour till new year. Tomorrow morning I will post complete set of my aquarium pictures. I cannot snap the pictures tonight because my fish is sleeping.

Greatly appreciate if you could share yours with me. Happy new year.

Wow, this is interesting that the bichirs will sort of adapt to what type of food you feed them. I am feeding some flakes and sinking pellets to see which he prefers, but it looks like he goes for the sinking stuff.

I am going to put it with cichlids in a 125, but I think more than 1 might be too many.

I do have an XP3 and an emperor 400 on the tank as far as filtration goes.

I seldom feed my bichirs sinking pellet. I only give them sinking pellet when I don't have time (going to work early or coming back from work late) to chopped fresh meat for them. Sinking pellet tend to cloud water and left over difficult to scoop out using net. Fresh meat left over tend to float when I try to scoop them out.

my senegals eat both from top and bottom of the tank, delhezis eat from the bottom and Endlis won't eat anything LOL (or i don't see them eating)

 

[dbcb314]

my two sens only eat off the bottom

Bichirs are primarily bottom feeders but the more active ones like the senegals and delhezis will eat from the top. The lesser active/shy ones like the endlis and ornates will also eat from the top if you train them. I sometimes feed mines hikari floating cichlid pellets and they go crazy on that.
