Froggie Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 About 3 weeks ago I purchased a trio of Polypterus ornatapinnis. The largest was about 8” and the other two were in the 4-5” range. I put them into a 75 gallon with a few dithers, they snacked on one or two but that was to be expected. Then earlier this week I added a small clown knife that I had been keeping for the last two months. He was growing very quickly, putting on some bulk and about 5”. I expected him to become a monster. This morning I found this, I can only assume they killed it during the night and picked it clean. Very cool fish! What am I going to keep with them though? I need more bichers I guess!

Toirtis Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Funky...pity, though. Consider larger bushfish (Ctenopoma), gar, adult severums, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street cypher Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 i chuckled when i saw that pic, i l ove bichirs, too bad you didn't catch them in actions! I bet they had to do some major death rolling to get chunks off! That would have been a sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
