thanks for the nice vid very interesting fish, different

[@bluedogaquatics1189]

Yeah I figured I would do a video on them since I don’t get them to often in my store

I love how prehistoric they look.

[@ericfajardo3380]

do they need a bubbler ?

[@bluedogaquatics1189]

@@ericfajardo3380 they need filtration and a good one at that as they are messy eaters. Bubblers are always a plus cause they are adding oxygen and flow to the tank

I love my ornate ❤ although as they get larger they do become more aggressive towards Any fish, including senagals, and try to eat them.

[@bluedogaquatics1189]

@@janellshah5087 that they do

[@absolutelyunepic3072]

I dont see any reason why you would need live fish for these guys. They are scavengers who will eat anything. Just give frozen shrimp, frozen silversides and cut up fillets. I've never had a bichir that didn't like pellets and flakes either

How quickly do they grow from babies to adults?

[@bluedogaquatics1189]

It depends on diet and care but most will reach adulthood in the first couple years

I’d love to buy them. Would you ship?

72-80 degrees that’s really hot for a tank. Did you mean 72-80 Fahrenheit? I don’t mean to be rude I just don’t want anyone really thinking it has to be that hot.

[@bluedogaquatics1189]

@@kirraroy3049 yes I did

[@clarencejackson5284]

I feed mines pieces of frozen flounder

[@bluedogaquatics1189]

That works

[@TheDieselguy65]

They eat frozen shrimp and any fillet you cut up, does not have to live

[@sariel8406]

Tank is small and pebbles arent good.
