Yay! My 4 foot oddball tank is fully stocked :hooray: The bichirs were just moved in, after a 2 week quarantine and worm treatment (other tanks had them). They fit in great. My mogurnda, who is as big as they are (3 inches) chased them for an hour, thinking they were food :crazy: Fish hotdogs? :lol: I always see one too, but the other hides like my ropefish, who snuggles with him in a cave. I highly reccomend these guys, they're awesome. They can defend themselves too, my geo, rainbow, and severum, being cichlids :rolleyes: had to bother them for the first ten minutes, and when one of the 3 got too close, the tiny bichirs lunged at them :lol: This is my dream tank :nod: Don't worry about filters, I have plenty :lol: A whisper 300 and aquaclear 30 powerfilter combo is good :) I doo big water changes every week too :thumbs:
