Fish Addict
I really wanted a bichir initially and wanted to change my tank to sand substrate. However, I have deemed it a bit too much work to take out my fairly well planted substrate and also my rocks and bogwood that are awash with java fern and look great!!!
My substrate at the minute is very small gravel and have I have read that this could be an issue with the bichirs. Like I say there is currently a lot of bogwood, a few bits of slate and some rocks in there and I plan to add some more rocks and bogwood also.
Do not worry about what I currently have in the tank as I am going to cater that to the needs of whichever fish I add into it, so it is pretty much a free reign to be honest!!!
If anybody can come up with anything better than the 2 species I am thinking of or specify exactly which type of species will be best, e.g, senegal bichir, dwarf channa, etc then all the better. The bigger the choice the more I can enjoy picking and choosing!!!
The tank is a Rio 180 with standard filtration although I do have some spare cash and may be able to add an additional external filter to this but that isn't really the way I want to go due to space and extra maintenance required. (2 kids, a heavy football schedule and demanding girlfriend takes it toll!!! )
