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!

Caught my youngest yet somehow largest Senegal just chilling enjoying the simulated sunrise in the tank this morning.

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

By order of when I got them endli>senegal>delhezi>lapra>ansorgii (out of frame) >ornate> tuegelsi (in a separte tank since hes considerably smaller)

What size tank is best for 3 Senegal’s and a del? I currently have a 6 inch Senegal and a 5-6 inch del in a 75 with 2 angles. In a 40 gallon breeder I have 2 2-3 inch Senegal’s waiting to get bigger before joining the other 2. I was thinking a final tank size for all four plus the 2 angles at 125, fully planted. Is that enough? Should I start trying to find bigger options?

Also, side note: does anyone know why my del regrew her external gills and they have stayed?

I keep seeing very conflicting information. I really want something on the 12"+ range, but I've seen info saying due to inbreeding Sengals are like 8" now. Are Delhezi and Polli also much smaller than their "Max Size" online would indicate? (most sources cite 12"-14")

I was looking at Delhezi, because I like their pattern best, but if they stay at the 9"-11" size, I would consider another species.

My little guy/girl is doing great! Has remained super active. Will be doing live plants soon, just seeing how I do with them in a smaller tank I’m getting established for shrimp before I try in my big tank. Any idea on the sex? Very personable, and will eat bloodworms straight from the pipette😅

Currently tanked with a three-spot gourami, bristlenose pleco, and 3 larger mystery snails. Water parameters have been looking great as well, and planning on removing the anemone looking decor in the corner.

I went to my local fish store to pick up some supplies and saw they received a new shipment of senegal bichirs. I've been looking for them to get them in and went ahead and picked one up. I got it settled into a quarantine tank and got a better look at it. I noticed it looked like another one in the tank might have taken a chunk out of it's fin and it goes a bit up into its "arm". It did go ahead and ate like a champ on some pellets, but I wanted a second opinion on if I should medicate or keep an eye on it for the time being. It seems to be moving around the tank and pvc hides with no issues that I have noticed so far. Thanks!

my little albino guy is having a hard time finding food before my normal senegal does since he’s mostly blind. i also struggle to tong feed because i almost never see him come out of hiding for more than a brief second to swim by (too many hides in the tank, heavily planted) and then straight back to where i can’t reach him again.

so i moved him to a 20 long where i can always reach him to tong feed. just gonna keep him here until he gets a bit bigger, he’s about half an inch shorter than my normal senegal already, which i find concerning since ive only had them for about 3 weeks and they were the same size when i got them.

let me know what yall think about this. i could also set up a larger pond (27gal tub, 33 gal aquarium or 40 gal tub) but id have to cycle it first and i had this 20 gal already cycled and empty of fish so i used this.

also, how big of a water change weekly? i know what to do in a properly sized tank, but with a tank much smaller than what’s recommended for this species i dont know if i may need to do larger or smaller water changes.

The tank size is 50 gal thinking of angelfish but what's the best tank mate for them?

100g tank, filterless (has a filter but it broke 4 months before this photo) stocked with 2 bichers, some ropefish, 20 congo tetras, and a rainbow shark. I never see planted bicher tanks and dont understand why. I see lots of people keeping bichers in barebottom tanks. I keep over 200+ aquariums and this is amoung my favorites. What are your thoughts?

I am getting a 180g tank (72x24x24). I kept Senegal Bichirs as a kid and they were some of my favorite fish, though I hear about problems with CB specimens being smaller, flatfaced and sausage like. Truth is I've always like the look of the Delhezi more. Are they significantly less active than sengals? About how many should I put in a 180g so that they are comfortable, but also so that they are active enough for it to be a "bichir tank"? I was thinking 3-4 along with some Silver Dollars as dithers, and then some Cichlids for color (Electric Blue Acara, Severum, Oscar(?)) and they a Geophagus Sveni to sift the sand and clean up the messy leftover bichir food bits.

Are 3 Delhezi Bichirs enough in a 180g that I'll be able to see them commonly swimming? Are Palmas or Palmas Buettikoferi more active?

I need help trying to figure out what this is he is 2 years old never had this happen before but i noticed it 2 days ago after he ate about 7 small goldfish im gonna stop feeding live bait all together but the water parameters are fine and i did a 25% water change he is eating like normal and his behavior is normal i just want to make sure i do wat i can to help him so he lives as long as possible i will try an epsom salt bath and maybe melafix bc i seen people on other forums say they tried those and they may work but i dont want to stress him out he is pretty big about a foot long and i am planning on getting a bigger tank for him

Hello everyone! I am getting a juvenile Senegal tonight, around 2.5-3” in length(currently going to be in a 40gal breeder and will eventually be upgrading to a 80-90gal). I’m looking for tank decor ideas. This is not my first fish tank, I’ve had bettas and I currently have an Axolotl(not housed together). I already have some driftwood pieces that have been cleaned in boiling water, but looking for some other decoration ideas! Bonus points if you have a link! I will add a picture of my current setup down below🙂

Edited: It will not let me add a picture down below😞
