Palmas Bichir

The Palmas Bichir is a distinctive freshwater fish prized by experienced aquarists for its unique appearance and intriguing behavior. This elongated species features a series of dorsal finlets running along its back and displays a mottled pattern that provides excellent camouflage in planted tanks. Palmas Bichirs are nocturnal bottom-dwellers that thrive in well-established aquariums with plenty of hiding spots and subdued lighting. They require spacious tanks with soft substrate and appreciate live plants. These fish are carnivorous and will readily consume quality sinking pellets, frozen foods, and live prey. Hardy and long-lived, they make a fascinating addition to larger community setups with compatible tank mates.
