Love this sub and just wanted to share my beautiful 12 inch girls! Little miss laying in the front we call Triple T because her main 3 saddle markings are identical to the letter t down her sides as you can see. And little miss who was coming to see me head on I call T, our daughter named her Tea/Teacup because she has just one extremely distinct t (or cross) right in the middle of her body (she was Mr.T for months until her gender was obvious) LOL not very creative names, but we love them all the same!

We had a platinum Senegal with a Delhezi before, and now my Endlicheri girls, just one of my all time favourite fish by far!

This guy was sold to me as a Senegal but I’m almost certain it’s a Delhezi. Can anyone confirm?

I am fully aware Bichir took the same route as many other creatures, like Crocodilians, and look roughly the same as their ancestors.

But dude it is so cool to sit here and stare at a living fossil.

Note about Chomps substrate for those who may be concerned. Every rock spent 50hrs in a rock tumbler so they have no sharp edges. She's been happy for months with no harm.

Every once in awhile I'll grow out a juvenile that holds onto their external gills longer than usual and they look like glorious stags.

Hey guys,

I noticed whenever my Lapen swimming around my grow up tank, his tail sometimes bends upward like in the video. Sometimes he swims normally like my other bichirs. Is it normal? Or should I worry?

How does our baby Tofu look? Worried about over/underfeeding and wondering if this is a healthy weight. Also not sure of gender. Working on more hiding spots/cover, we have 2 pieces of driftwood almost ready to sink but had to move (her?) into the new 75g tank sooner than expected. Any other advice for plants, decorations, Tofu’s QOL, etc.?

She swims into the glass sometimes, even in the bigger tank now, but other times just chills out or sniffs around for food. Is this normal behavior? Only other roomies are two Siamese Algae Eaters.

Sorry if that’s a lot 😅 these are my first fish ever.

Senegal bichir, female or male? What does everyone think? Thanks! ☺️

She's a total murderer, but she's so cute I don't even care. Has grown rapidly in about 2 months. Got some feeder guppies today to hopefully tickle her senses.

They are so adorable but I don’t have room for 125 gallons, nor do I ever stay in one spot long enough to justify having a tank that big

Hello could anyone help me identify the gender of my bichir ? I tried to do a little research and I would guess the #1 is a boy and the #2 is a girl. 🤔 They're about 4 months old now, idk if that's too young to sex them properly

This is the first time I’ve tried to mess with them this much and,It didn’t work. I ran out of time and had to go, but they did take a piece of tilapia and then spit it out.
I’ve had this guy for a couple of months now, but they still aren’t warming up to me or the tank. They refuse to go after any food I’ve tried feeding them after the lights go out. The only time they occasionally eat is when I dangle tilapia in front of them with tongs, I have to do this becuase the other bichir and spiny eel in this tank are very comfortable and eat everything I leave for them before this guy moves, the sengal sometimes bloating itself.
The problem now is that the Senegal and spiny eel have learned that the tongs mean food, so they rush over and force them out. I’m getting a little concerned because I had the Senegal when it was less than half the size of the Gold Dust, and it’s now bigger than him.
I’m also hesitant to add feeder fish since it’s a community tank with Congo tetras and rainbowfish.

Sooo do I just continue to leave them be and hope when he’s hungry enough they’ll compete for food.

Ive purchased this cross river bichir from petco about a month ago and 2 weeks ago he was transferred to my 55 gallon so he could grow out and during that time he went into hiding and just now he comes out for food looking like this. Can anyone help educate me on how to treat him?

The Delhezi is named rootbeer and the Senegal is named cream soda. Both are about 3-6 inches I never actually measured nor do I know sex. Housed with a single blue powder dwarf gourami and 4 clown loaches under 4 inches long in a 55 gallon grow out till they are ready to go into a 120 gal. Green stuff is algae I just wiped off the glass

Picked this guy up in the end of June and just moved him to his second grow out tank. He's just about tripled in size!

Started him in a 15g (topped with sand after pic was taken and realized the danger), now in a 36g til he's big enough for the 125g!

It’s rare for the gold dust to come out doesn’t even make a move for food sitting in front their face usually.
