Can check with expert here, my Senegal swims often up and down the tank, at times all the way to the surface and down to bottom. Any problem? A bit worry, yes I had cover the tank.

Anything else? Can he be hungry? Cos previously on mp, converting him to pellets

Is he just playful? I hope so heehee


Thanks all in advance for advice

Well the time has come...

I have decided to stop buying fish, and reduce my stock.

I have plans with a few friends to do a Temple pilgrimage across the whole of Japan (all the islands) by motor cycle starting August this year.

I need money to get 2 of my bikes fit for the journey (as well as a trailer for my jeep) and have decided to sell some of my more expensive fish to pay for this.

I am cutting 6 tanks down to 2 or maybe 3. (all 240 gallon).

I am selling:
All my Bichir Bichirs except for the first one I got (WC Chad) and one Kamihata CB(Chad).
1x 16" WC Ansorgii
1x 14" WC Congicus (Thick banded, gorgeous)
1x 15" WC "Black" Congicus
1x 14" Koliba
1x 13" Tuegelsi
1x 6" Tigrinus
1x 18" RTG

And then selling a bunch of large Endlicheri, Lapradei and various other fish (snakeheads, cats, Dats etc) to be able to house the fish I am keeping in the 2/3 240's

The new WC Turkana is headed to a shop here in Japan called Aqua-Art (unless I am made an offer that beats ¥200,000 + buyer collects from Japan) where it will be on display. (Aqua-Art will give me my money back in full as it's a friends store and where I got it from) It will be for sale from there at the original sale price they quoted me (before I got discount) at ¥300,000. (Includes full photographic signed and hologrammed Certificate with Locale, plus a pamphlet on the Turkana Expedition with some cool stuff in it, as well as original import papers from Turkana 2008)

It has been great fun growing my collection with you guys, and I will still be sticking around this site daily religiously until August then it will be not so regular for a year.

Was a hard thing to decide, but Motorcycles are my true love over fish, and I can always come back to it after my trip.

Aww bro im new here and spent my time reading on Bichir threads 38-40 and i truly enjoyed the content there.

Cheers to you and have a safe and fun trip!

Bro imo it's a very fat plat senegal

if bottom very hard to change, just add quartz sand.. i feel bichirs look best in quartz sand.. be it black or red they can live quite a long time, red from MFK up to 20years !
