QuestionCan 1 Bichir survive in a 10 gallon tank? If so how big will he be able to get?
AnswerA bichir in optimal conditions will reach over 2 feet in length. A 10 gallon tank cannot accomodate a fish of this size, and even if placed in the tank as a baby, the bichir would be stunted and die very young. You would need a 125 gsllon + sized aquarium to house a fish of that magnitude. So simply, the answer about a bichir in a 10 gallon is absoletly no...and he will only get very small due to stunting which will cause his organs to be constricted and essentially he will explode from the inside out.
