A 60g wide would be plenty for a pair of the above mentioned species. By 'secure', I mean one with a good, complete top...Polypteridae need to breach regularly to breathe and often inavertently jump out of the tank.

yep although i've never had a prob with mine and there's a pretty big hole in the back for the filter. they don't mess with plants and seem to enjoy playing in them.
the more common senegal bichir is easily found in most petsmarts as the 'dinosaur eel' and get about a foot and will eat pretty much anything but flake.

Yah, block up those holes in the top. I lost a senegal floor diving. Cracked her poor little head open on the hardwoods. Fortunately the other two are still doing quite well, and growing like weeds.
There's a freshwater fish out there called a Dragon Fish.
yes, but that's a picture of a saltwater seahorse....
Above suggestions are all good, I'd go for a Violet Goby or Bichir.
Another suggestion if your looking for a smaller fish would be an African Butterfly, they look kinda dragonlike IMO since they actually appear to have wings and they float along the top of the water and will snatch up insects.

violet gobies, however, are brackish fish, not freshwater. they look, eat, and grow better in brackish water.
here's another pict of them. Saw them at the Long Beach Aquarium.
Those are leafy sea dragons and are quite marine...not at all FW....also endangered and protected.
