henward Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 spoon they are nice fish, i use a regime of massivore delite, beef heart and fish fillets. they get pretty fat on that. high protein and some fat is good for them. they eat untill they cant fit anymore. my large TT eel in the big tank also hides with the bichirs. i think they think they are all same species? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 on that note, albinos are often stunted. so i hear. best to get a few, and the fastest grower, hold it back and sell the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Albinos don't get as big as a normal senegal, about 10" max IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 yep as long as one can not fit in the others mouth you will be right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 would these go ok with cichlids? *sigh* what kind of cichlids? dwarf apistos? tropheus? oscars? kribs? peacocks? angels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 i havent thought that far ahead just yet more just brainstorming. at the moment my knowlage of cichlids is limited but i am going to brush up on more before i give me tank any large over hauls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 probably something similar kribs, peacocks or angels. but like ai said this is only with my limited knowledge. will angles go with othe cichlids? i don't think i have actually seen any together. sorry for the complete subject change :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
