Ok, so I have 2-- 5 inch senegalus bichirs in my community tank (waiting for them to get a little bigger before I move them).
I feed them a pretty varied diet consisting of-- mealworms(live), earthworms(live), any crickets(live) that float down when my african butterfly fish miss them,ghost shrimp(live), baby guppies(live), freeze-dried tubifex worms(not too often because my other fish make a mess of them), freeze-dried bloodworm(not too often either) and freeze-dried brine shrimp(go crazy for these)... Theres always ghost shrimp in there for their hunting and whenever I see a few left I always get more, about once a week I buy some baby feeder guppies and they disapper in about 10 minutes between the bichirs, butterfly fish and angels....
ALSO, how big do you think they will get?? Everywhere I read it says anywhere between 8 - 12 in. in an aquarium... About 2 months ago when I got them they were about 2 inches and the thickness of my pinky... Now their about 5 - 5 1/2 inches and thicker than my thumb.
So what do you guys and gals think??
Should I add/remove anything??
