Which Bichir?

[dln78]

Which one stays small, grows slow, and is highly recommenced for a 60 gallon. I might be getting one, if it is possible.

senegalus bichirs

Mokelebembe are likely to be the smallest bichirs. If they get any bigger than 7-8", it must take them a decade

Sens... especially albino ones tend to be even smaller

Senegals are the least expensive, easiest to find, and don't get very large. They also tend to have great personalities.

Thanks guys. There are many sens around me, so I'll think about that. Any more bichirs out there?

I have two Sens too. Much more active then my Delhezi Bichir.
But Delhz get up over 14''. Too big for a 60G tank I think.

Mokelebembe is the smallest, 7-8" but is expensive and does'nt have as much personality as my senegalus!
You could have a Delhezi, Endlicheri, Lapradei, you would just have too get a bigger tank (Endli gets up too 30"+)
You COULD keep a Delhezi, it's just a little small tank for him!
