Polypterus Endlicheri 12" @ rm280. Another tankmate for Frankenstein



She gets along very well. Been caught 'cuddling in the bushes'

So let's dump them into the lake and recapture them after a year

U shouldnt take sand or gravels from rivers, since they might contain unwanted elements. U dont want strange creatures lurking in ur aquarium later. Buy gravels from local shops, they should have variety of choice.

Important I think mixing plecos or any sucker fish is a really bad idea. Even in the video we can see the pleco sucking on bichir's body. Pity them bro.

At a glance, i think ur bichirs are endlicheri & senegalus, perhaps.

Noted bro. Will put those pleco away asap. Huhu. I
thought they were cleaning those bichir. Yes. U r rite. Senegal is cheap. But the endlicheri is pretty pricey.( or I am being conned?) Most shop here sell those colourful gravel n I hate them.

Yeah endlicheri is the most pricey i think.

Me too i dont like colourful gravel, they dont look natural. One more thing is, bichirs love to hide, so they really appreciate hiding spots like woods, tunnels or big rocks or plants.

BTW what u feed them?

*I always use plastic plants, cuz my turtle will damage natural plants real fast

Huhu. Rite now I just give them small fish. I've put pallet but they seems just to ignore it. Huhu. Maybe i'll train them later to accept pallet. Haha the senegal always eat like hell till their body looks like exploding. Will put rock later. N wood. And plastic plant. Dun have much time. Only free on weekend. :-(

Added on October 2, 2012, 12:59 pm3ft tank is sufficient?? Do the size of the tank will affect the fish growth rate??

Ur senegalus eats pellet or feeder fish? He seems very active U should try bloodworms as a treat. I think all fishes like BW.

Feeder fish???i giv them rm1 longkang guppy fish only. Bloodworm the one that is freezed??
