Dragonfish?

Question
Hi,

Picture: http://i31.tinypic.com/qn7al5.jpg

Today I saw this unusual fish at a store, and I'm really interested to keep it. But beforehand, I would like to know what type it is and what kind of setup I should have in my tank. And is it okay for them to co-habitate with Black Ghost Knifefish?

Thank you for your answer.

William

Answer
Hi William,
From my research it looks like "Polypterus senegalus" otherwise known as  'Senegal bichir'

Look here ;-)

I think they'd be OK with your Black ghost Knifefish. They are really awesome oddball fish.

Hope this helps!
