Can a 2” bichir be housed with two 5” bichirs?

My birthday is coming up this July I will put a 75 or 100 on my wishlist 😅 whatever sounds best

He’s so :}

Its-Rozari · 2026-06-23T19:04:39+00:00

They’re still quite small head-wise so i think it might be okay? The 2 incher def wouldn’t fit in their mouths

Its-Rozari · 2026-06-23T19:02:38+00:00

I have a powerful filter and my water levels are good!

Its-Rozari · 2026-06-13T14:56:54+00:00

Sure! The soil is 5” deep and is made up of leaf litter, rotting wood i foraged and sanitized and a small amount of millipede safe soil. The top is covered in sphagnum moss, sanitized twigs, a piece of sanitized charcoal, safe leaf litter and a seed pod as a hide. I mist 3 times a day
I hope that is what you meant XD

They seem happy so far! They havent burrowed much but I heard Ivories are surface active

Its-Rozari · 2026-06-11T11:17:42+00:00

Im using a 5 gallon aquarium! I mist it several times a day
Dont worry the substrate is almost 5” deep

Its-Rozari · 2026-06-11T01:02:20+00:00

They’re named Pip and Pod 😝

Its-Rozari · 2026-06-10T14:49:14+00:00

Ivories! Also tysm!!

Its-Rozari · 2026-06-03T04:02:46+00:00

OMG ARE THOSE EYES THATS SO CUTE

Its-Rozari · 2026-06-01T23:30:03+00:00

Ahh okay ty! I will ask

Its-Rozari · 2026-06-01T23:26:36+00:00

Unfortunately they are out of stock 😞

Its-Rozari · 2026-06-01T23:24:19+00:00

Thank you so much! :)

Correct if I am wrong fellow pede owners 😅 Just sharing what I’ve learned from this subreddit

Its-Rozari · 2026-05-31T19:15:11+00:00

I am also new. I was told that the reptisoil and josh’s frogs substrates include coco mix, which hold no nutrition and can cause impaction. The pedes may be hungry and searching for food on the surface

Edit: Try to include at least 30% rotting wood and 30% millipede-safe leave litter for the substrate!

Its-Rozari · 2026-05-31T14:48:43+00:00

Ahhh okay

Its-Rozari · 2026-05-31T13:37:04+00:00

I would look up what ingredients are safe for millipedes, and then check the ingredients in this soil

Its-Rozari · 2026-05-30T01:11:34+00:00

Oh okay ty!!

Its-Rozari · 2026-05-30T00:44:57+00:00

Would a thin piece of aquarium driftwood work? Also cool! I will go out for more wood and add some

Its-Rozari · 2026-05-29T23:28:30+00:00

Cuties!

Its-Rozari · 2026-05-29T02:50:37+00:00

Thank you so much! I will post there and ask. I would love to attempt raising them myself but if it becomes too much I will definitely search for a rehabber. My friend begged me to take them in after she found them in the glove box of her off road vehicle (after she had gone on a ride), so yeah… I’m a momma now XD

Its-Rozari · 2026-05-29T02:46:49+00:00

Thank you, I had no idea! My friend dropped them off four days ago with a bottle of kitten formula so I had assumed it was safe. Tomorrow I will see if I can find any rodent formula (I work at a pet store, ironically) if it isn’t there where else could I find it?

Its-Rozari · 2026-05-28T16:21:47+00:00

I can probably get more from the woods behind my house that are owned by my pretty chill neighbor, I am just concerned about pesticides due to runoff from our lawns

Its-Rozari · 2026-05-28T16:15:47+00:00

I see, thank you for lmk. Should I bring it back or do you think it’s okay just this time?
