my tank is 6ftx2.5ftx2.5ft...

3ftx1.5ftx1.5ft will depend on type and size of bichir you intend to keep...

juv bichirs can keep more as long as your filtration is suffice......

adult upper jaw can keep 4-5 pcs...exclude ornate/teugelsi...

lower jaw will grow up to 30inches hence 3ft tank not advisable....

Nice bichirs. Without red quartz, the contrast so nice liao. Cant imagine if its with rdd quartz.

If u keeping upper jaw, like del, senegal, palmas palmas, palmas beuttikoferri, mokes or polli palmas, think 15pc still ok as they grow to 14' max in a tank. If upper jaw like teug, ornate, weeksii or retroponis, less than 10pcs as they can grow to quite big.

If endis or others, best is 1-3pcs a tanks. Too many bichirs in a small tanks will inhabits its growth. The most I kept in a 3ft tank is 25pcs of all species, but proven too small for them.
