bichirs are great i have two senegals now that are about 7 1/2" and 6 1/2" but you do know they reach up to 24".
your tank size is fine but they do nip at other fish and at that size can do a lot of damage even if its to big to eat.
just something to think about but i love mine i have a male and a female and they love eachother seem not to mind me i reach in their and the male will swim through my fingers. he is verry active which is not always the case anyway good luck.
