72g stocking

Post by xrayjeeper83 »

Alright so as I posted already tuesday im buying a 72g bow front that im going to leave at her house. So far we are thinking an Oscar and a Senegal Bichir. What else can go in there safely? Something colorful is good, and something that will be able to live with them all the way through adulthood

Yes, they're my 3rd to puffers & cichlids. Be sure she checks out the ones in the auctions at that site.

I sent it to her.

She was looking at cichlids too. I just dont know what cichlids would be good to be with a S bichir when its full grown.

A senegal bichir cannot be safely housed with an oscar. Big nice fish only. They have no defensive nature.

Are bichirs aggressive or just predatory?

Aggressive fish cannot be housed with any other fish. Predatory fish can be housed with anything too big to fit into their mouth.
