    changing my tank to cichlids wanting to sell my ornate bichir before so he doesnt get attacked.
    also selling a sengales bichir they are both 9-10 inches.
    very hardy fish easy to take care of eat anything. they like earthworms and goldfish as well as beefheart.
    i paid 50 for the ornate as a baby and he is about a year old now. looking for 75 dollars or best offer.
    the sengales was probably 9 dollars as a baby id like to get 25 for him. or best offer as well. very cool oddball fish.

    I agree with Anthony, they are best kept in a species only tank.

    ornates suppost to get around 24 inches, the sengal is probably as long as he will ever be. ive had him for two years and he hasnt grown much in the last year.

    the ornate ive had for a year he doesnt seem to be growing much either.

    they are at around 8 ph and 78-80 degree water. living with
    4 emrald green corys
    1 blackfin shark
    1 knife fish
    3 peacock ciclids
    1 jewel cichlid
    2 yellow lab cichlids
    1 blue ahli cichlid
    2 gourimis
    1 silver dollar.

    that's what I sorta thought...but wanted to make sure as I wasn't well versed on these guys.
    still really cool looking to me though (at least the white one is) :)
