What Bichir Would Go Best?

[SamUK]

Hi, im lookin to get a bichir but i wanna make sure it will get along with its other possible tank mates.


tank is 180 gallons and so far ive got an oscar (6"), 1 green severum (4"), 1 BGK (3"), 5 Clown loaches (about 4") and 2 balas which ill be adding a couple more of.

which bichir would fit best with those fish?

thanx in advance.

i would go for a young ornate as you have nice size tank.imo they are less shy than the others but they grow quite fast and you have some small fish so it might be risky.so maybe a delhezi is a better idea i have one for sale as it happens

 

[SamUK]

how much and are you posting? lol

ill have a read up on those 2 and see.

thanx.

 

[cane76]

have you decided yet?

 

[SamUK]

nope


they all look great, think ill jus see what i can get hold of first.

senegals seem to be the most often seen(by me anyway)but i would hold out for a delhezi

 

[SamUK]

well ill go talk to them 2morro.


gonna tell them to hold on to the green sev they have too. mine wants a friend ( i decided lol).

thanx alot!

2morro has officially been designated fish day.
