Well damn, Onion... You're making my cold-sweats go away. :ROFL:

bichirs are (for the most part) chill. one of the easiest, least stressful fish to own. just make sure you have a good cover and no holes for them to jump out of ;)

Yeah, I know i've learned quite a bit over the last few weeks about bichirs... I just thought the lower jaw species were more apt to eat smaller guys.

Thanks for the reassurance throughout, btw...


another 5 mins, and it'll be in the tank. Another 10 minutes and i'll have pics of it.

Lapradei, or what? lol
 
that is 100% lapradei. congrats :)
 
While I agree that the lap is less likely to eat the sens than say, an endli, I wouldn't relax just yet.

The fish has to 'show' you that it's not a fish eater.

Never assume you will have success with mixing sizes because others have. For that matter, never assume you will even if you've had success in the past.

Trust me, I've learned that from painful experience. I had a congicus that would only eat albinos sens. :nilly:
 
^ For sure....


I'm gonna have my eye on him for the night.

I would fear for your sens safety IMO

best bet is to keep the lap fat and full as possible.

wow that is a huge size difference

(how the hell does someone get a del and a lap confused? they look nothing alike)
He doesn't look skinny, so I'm guessing whoever the LFS's distributor is fed him well.

The size difference is quite something, eh?


I have no idea how a Lap and a Del can get confused... The first thing I said when I took the fish bag out of the plastic grocery bag it was in was: "Holy s***.... That's a Lap."
