Heres what i got so far. No decor, picking up a shibby load of driftwood later this week. Half barebottom, half onyx sand. W/D to come sometime in the future. Pretty bare looking (i sort of like it)

Wow, a full bichir tank... what are the measurements? Must be huge considering bichirs grow to a nice foot at least.
What are you feeding these guys? When I had my figure 8 puffers in freshwater (temporarily), I had a small 6 inch senegal bichir. I fed it bloodworms are ghost shrimp...

Its 6' X 2' X 2'
I need to pump these guys up, they are still babies. Some of them have the potential of hitting 28", but it takes time as their growth slows down considerably as the get larger.
I still have 5 more in growouts, can't wait to add them. They eat market shrimp, silversides and hikari sinking carnivore pellets as a staple diet. They get large earthworms every once in a while and sometimes shrimp pellets. Trying out bay scallops soon.

Just bugs (earthworms, crickets, sometimes mealworms)
No feeders. When one of my smaller tanks opens up i'll breed feeders.
Wow
I envy you. I've got one bichir. Had him for about eight years. An Ornatippinis. I don't have a large enough tank to put another bichir in there, unfortunately. He shares living quarters with a Green Terror.
