Firemouths? I heard they become very aggressive when larger. I had a krib which attacked everything in the tank, and I had 4 rams, that I just took back coz they were hassling my USD cats and L001 lol.

I always get the oddballs

2 x senegals
1 x black knife
1 x semaprochilodus taeniurus

two arrowheads... 1ft long

 

[rixy]

hi everyone.i've now got

2 x senegal bichirs
1 x semaprochilodus taeniurus
8 x congo tetras

the semaprochilodus taeniurus is approx 3-4 inches long.
the senegals are approx 5-6 inches long
the congos are approx 2 inches long

the taeniurus is a stunning colour,but so shy.anyone want to swap for a small delhezi bichir ??

 

[§tudz]

semaprochilodus taeniurus should be kept in groups of about 3, or so I've read, they are great looking fish, but can become aggressive as well. So a shoal is a better way to go with them.

how much did you pay for it?

 

[rixy]

i paid £17 for it.my tanks not big enough for 3.

1 should be ok on its own,or,3 or more.

i,ve seen plenty of these,but never a nasty one.

my lfs has a 12 inch specimen and hes as gentle as a lamb.

 

[§tudz]

They are amazing looking fish, they look like someone took their favourite bits of other fish and glued them all together, when I get my own place in the next 12months I have plans for a large tank, (6'x6'x6') I might get some to go in there with my Senegalaus and his other tank mates.

 

[rixy]

3/4/5 of these would look stunning.your right when you say they look like they are different bits of fish all put together.they are very good eaters,not fussy at all.

 

[§tudz]

/me get very jealous

 

[rixy]

you should get some.you must have room for another tank
