The Gray Bichir is an odd-ball fish that requires ample swimming space. This bottom-dwelling fish is a great leaper so tank should be properly covered. This fish loves to hide among roots, plants, smooth-surfaced rocks and woods. This fish is peaceful and is a good addition to community aquarium with no very small tankmates that can fit its mouth.
