This is Falkor my albino senegal bichir which I've had since she was about 10cm. She's about 25cm now. I call it a her since she's always so fat. Really I have no idea what proper sex she is.
She lives in a 4ft tank with an undergravel filter along with a couple of dwarf loaches and a peppermint bristlenose male who cleans the front glass for me.

Did you know they also breath air? I have to keep the waterline down at least an inch so she can gulp in some air every so often.


Oh btw, she eats 3 Sera viformo tabs every night.


The anal fin shot where you are supposed to be able to sex them but I have no idea.

Nice seni!

One thing I noticed is it's not albino ;)

I think it's a girl the anal fin is very slim.

My Senegal has to be the funniest fish I own. It thinks it's a pleco. I also love how calm they are especially compared to other bichirs.
