Palmas Bichir

The Palmas Bichir is a striking freshwater fish prized by experienced aquarists for its unique appearance and intriguing behavior. This elongated species features a distinctive row of dorsal finlets and a mottled pattern that provides excellent camouflage in planted or rocky environments. Palmas Bichirs are nocturnal bottom-dwellers that thrive in well-established tanks with plenty of hiding spots, moderate water flow, and temperatures between 72–82°F. They're carnivorous and will accept sinking pellets, frozen foods, and live prey. Best suited for 55-gallon or larger aquariums with peaceful tank mates, these fish can reach 12 inches and live 10+ years with proper care. A fascinating addition for dedicated hobbyists seeking an uncommon species with personality.
