Im looking for a polypterus buddy for my 55 with a GT.
Predfan27 said:Stick with what are called upper jaw bichirs. They tend to be smaller (with the exception of the ornatapinnis or teugelsi). A Nile Bichir is a lower jaw specie and will definitely out grow a 55. Upper jaw species that may be suitable are Senegalus, Delhezi, Palmas variants, and perhaps a few I can't think of (but those are usually impossible to find unless you special order).
Bichirs are excellent fish to keep and I wish I still had mine. Let me know if you need anything else regarding them.

& everyone got along
But if you start seeing any aggression remove right away, always have a back up plan
