Barred Bichir 8-9CM Barred Bichirs are primarily active during the night and tend to seek refuge during daylight hours. To ensure their comfort and security, it is essential to create an environment that includes plenty of hiding places and subdued lighting. These fish typically prefer a solitary lifestyle and can exhibit territorial behaviors, so it is important to observe their interactions with other fish in the tank. Providing ample space will allow them to establish their own territories without conflict. While Barred Bichirs are generally known for their peaceful nature, they do have the potential to consume smaller fish in the tank. Therefore, it is advisable to house them with fish that are of a similar size or larger, ensuring that these companions are also non-aggressive. Suitable tank mates for Barred Bichirs include other large, peaceful species such as sizable characins, various types of catfish, and other non-aggressive fish that are comparable in size.
