    At least the bichirs will pose nice for a photo. Had 3 of them and a polypteris about 3 years ago. Freaked out my wife and daughter when they stared at them when they walked past the tank

    They are extremely chilled but they know how to find an opening to get out.

    Just don't use internal filters as they will force them.self in between the glas and wont be able to get out. Learn from my mistakes
