I'm not positive, only time iv done the switch was when I was upgrading tanks so I simply dumped the gravel out and replaced with sand but I'm sure there's a thread on here somewhere explaining how to do it. That or maybe someone will chime in with some advice. I think if I was in your situation...

If sand is an option I'd go with that. My dojos keep the bottom of my tank spotless. They are constantly sifting sand in their mouth and out their gills.

People like you are exactly why other people stop using this app. I was simply giving the OP alittle reassurance aswell as complimenting liveaquaria. At no point did I say leave f the fish. At no point did I say anything about being careless towards the fish. Grow up and stop thinkin your better...

If they don't make it you can most likely get a refund or a new specimen. Iv had problems in the past with them and all it took was an email and they fixed whatever the issue was. Sometimes they are more expensive or don't have exactly what you want but their customer service is impeccable.

The Senegal bichir, Polypterus senegalus, also known as the gray bichir and Cuvier's bichir, is sometimes called the "dinosaur eel" and also known as "dragon fish" at many local pet chains- a misnomer, as the creature is NOT AN EEL. It is a prototypical species of fish in the Polypterus genus...

Feed them hikari pellets once a day and occasionally treat them with crickets, bloodworms, etc.

The sand filler would be fine. As per the smell, what's you stock, tank size, feeding schedule? A tank shouldn't smell, especially if your doing that frequent of water changes.

My biggest Senegal bichir chomper removed a chunk of skin from my finger when he was about 9in. All I wanted to do was replant a sword that had come unrooted.

Yep as long as you don't spray your yard with chemicals.

When I moved I used buckets with an airstones in them. Saves bags and they can hang in a bucket for awhile. My fish were in buckets for 4 hours in 30 degree weather and even my angelfish survived.

The op wasn't asking if they should do an Oscar they asked what could go with an Oscar.

You got a great deal and everyone's right 75 is a great size, keep it, it's well worth the extra bucket during water changes.

Il take personality over quantity anyday

Why not an Oscar?

You need a much larger tank or it the ich will come back again and again, maybe other nasty diseases aswell. In the meantime turn your heater up to 86. Usually works.
