Senegals are not territorial. In fact, I dont think bichirs are territorial type of fishes base on my personnel experiences.

Ok.. I understand they aren't territorial species... As I can see everyone comm tons of them tgt... But just dun understand why mine are fighting.. Torn fins isn't the first thing you wana see when u wake up in the morning... My tank alr has many hiding spots yet still can fight.. Sigh so bro desmond I only have 2 senegals in my tank now.. Along with CLs and a rtc (I'm gona return him next week).. U think the option is to intro more bichirs into the tank? In fact I have 3 albinos.. But still too small to intro. 2 fighting alr.. Intro 3small in inside isn't a good idea right now.. gona fatten them up first..

Its more of a case by case basis bro.. I have 2 ornates that keep fighting no matter what other bichirs or fishes I intro into my tank. So I have no choice but to seperate them. By the way, whats the size diff btw your big senegals and smaller ones? I am keeping 3" with 7" upper jaw bichirs (ie. senegals, dels, palmas, retros, mokes) together now with no issue as they arent as aggressive as those lower jaw bichirs (like laps, endies, congis).

Ok.. I'll try to fatten up my new albinos asap to intro to comm tank and meanwhile hope that the 2 don't kill each other first.. Yup mine's like urs too.. 3 3" and 2 6-7"... Now don dare intro with so much agression in the tank.. They're so tiny... All of them are senegals btw

Haha.. so its the new senegal's fault. Sometime suay suay u will encounter a "Rogue" bichir which goes around finding trouble. Imprison that bugger and you will have peace in the tank.

Bros, anyone has been to C328 recently. There is a tank of bichirs in the upper tank at the back of the shop. But Auntie does not know what bichir is that but cost $38. The stripes are quite fade but look abit like angoli. Anyone knows the Id? Thanks.

Hi Bro Itsafish,

I have posted the same question pertaining to the id of the those batch of bichirs in C328. Bro Schmike said they are retropinnis.

So are they retropinnis or palmas pollis? what is the difference? The head looks flat like retropinnis. Am i right?

Super sad day... My short body albino was dead when i came home yesterday. it swam into the pipe of my sump tank. got trapped inside. I wonder if i had killed it when i turned the valve in the attempt to check if it was trapped inside. or it has pass on before that.
