hi guys..I am joining this Primitive fish club as myself started to keep some bichirs..just bought endi and delhezi bichirs few weeks ago..keeping them in bare tanks(but with driftwood in it)..wondering u guys keep in bare tanks or with substrate?interested to know you guys prefer which bare tank or with substrate..

ya..i feel that those black sand looks nice but need to find those very fine sand as i scare they accidentally eat substrate while eating/hunting prey.. currently those driftwood i put 2gather with them are tie with plants which i duno what type..those lfs didnt label =.="..

sorry for ur lost..have to be extra careful with them as they are escape artists and can jump very well..i lost one of me endlicheri too due to that..currently i looking for lapradei or ornate..anyone spot them for sale??

that pic which tokitoki posted is a Polypterus teugelsi if i am not mistaken..

ya..as what aimank_88 said, that is Ornate Bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis).

Thanks bro

This depends on personal, some ppl will prefer 4bar than 3bar..just that many ppl looking for clean 3bar IT is due to it look similar with ST(siamese tiger).
ya..normally wild caught look better than CB.
PEE look nice if the stripe(or marking) is strong(bold type), but also depends on individual taste..

go and grab some ornate..they indeed look awesome..should ask L3()nZ, since he got bought some ornate bichir..
