Great for your larger aquariums, the albino Sengal Bichir is a unique, ancient species dating back 400 million years ago. Best housed in large bottom tanks with species that are too large to be eaten.
Make sure you have a secure, tight-fitting lid as Bichirs are escape artists and will jump out of your tank.
