completelty unexpectedly i just got a 25g for free, and i have no clue what to put in it, any suggestions? are there any species of bichir thatll work?
 
No way. The smallest species of any kind of bichir I know of grows to about a foot long-WAAAAAY to large for a 25g.
 
Hi,

You know what I'm gonna say, Cories, Cories, and more Cories! So maybe a nice shoal of five Three-Striped Cories. A school of eight Neons. And for the center piece fish a Ram or Dwarf Gourami.

i was kind of hoping for some kind of single big predatory fish, possibly a sngle specimen.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think a large predatory fish will be suited by that small of a tank.

What about some African Cichlids?
 
Maybe a single Green Terror.
 
african cichlids would be pretty cool, but by large predatory fish i mean something like 6-8inches. another possibility is a biotype, but im getting tired of a planted south american bio, maybe something like african or cebtral american?
 
you could go brackish with a figure 8 puffer.

Six to eight inches is still too large for a 25g. I'd say that a 55g is the absolute minimum for something that size.
