Senegal Bichir

[Spike_ea_2k6]

i brought one, and i asked the shop keeper if they can go with my fish, he said yes so im just seeing if hes right:

1x blue acara,
1x green terror,
1x wild blue acara,
1x texas,
2x female convicts,
1x gold severum,
1x block head,
1x 9.5" common pleco.

can a Senegal bichir so with them?

It's risky with the plec, due to the possibility of it "sucking" on the bichirs slime coat.

Also the fish you have are very likely to have disputes, until the GT rules I'm guessing.

 

[Mudfrog]

Yep, Pleco's are notorious for sucking off the slime coat of bichirs.

What size tank is this one?

 

[Spike_ea_2k6]

what u mean my Senegal bichir?

so should i take my pleco out?

and i though when plecos get to 6" they only eat bogwood and pleco wafers?

 

[BladeDogg]

I think they are saying that the pleco. MAY suck the slime off of you bichir. If that happens it will be succeptable to diseases. I am sure you already knew this. I am just taking a WILD guess...

tanks everyone

Got to disagree with the GT ,rivulatus(as i know),taking charge.The texas will demolish them all...mine nearly ripped apart my golden severums till they were dead(when he was smaller then them and they were breeding!)and killed many many other fish.If your cons have attitude them might be able to fight of the texas.Anyway this was just my texas cichlid not yours so ...meh.Btw he had a taste for blood because he would only eat bloodworm,lol!
