That guy looks pretty healthy How big is he? I hate taking pictures of my bichirs, they're nocturnal so their eyes reflect the camera flash Is he/she a pig at feeding time? My 4" Senegal just ate 2 1" pieces of krill Great pics

They evolved to be nocturnal in nature They are active at night too Fish act differently in tanks than they do in nature

He's about 4-5 inches at the moment and in a 50g corner tank. He's only been there for 2 days so he's still getting used to things I think as he hasn't really eaten that I've seen, but yes he's out and about all the time checking out his new surroundings and tankmates!!! Can't believe I've never thought about getting one before; he's a great addition!! My girlfriend calls him Eeley cos she says he looks like an eel!!!!
