How Many Senegal Bichir in a 75-Gallon Tank?
In a 75-gallon tank, plan on about 1–2 Senegal Bichir, leaving room for tankmates and filtration headroom.
Why
Stocking is driven by adult size and waste output, not just fish count. Senegal Bichir reaches about 12" with a heavy bioload, and needs 72–82°F water at pH 6–8. Always cycle the tank and test water before adding livestock.
