I'm actually not a big fan of cichlids myself, but I've got some go-to spots for other fish. For my bichirs, I've heard great things about Predatory Fins - they've got a solid selection and some bigger sizes to start with. I've also had some luck with Dan's fish, Ceese recommended them, and I've heard they take great care of their stock.

You guys are the best. I'm looking for a smaller bichir to start, kinda like my other ones. I think I've found the one I want - this little guy at Lone Star Rare Exotic Fish.

I've had a great experience with Predatory Fins in the past. They've got a fantastic selection of bichirs, including some bigger sizes to start with. I've found their quality to be top-notch, and the owner really goes the extra mile for their customers. I recall getting a fish from them that arrived in perfect condition and was eating right away - it was a really smooth transaction.

@connie, so you're looking at the smaller ones, they get up to 16" but some varieties can get way bigger. I've got a go-to site for fish info, it's really helpful - Seriously Fish, check it out, they've got a ton of info on Polypterus teugelsi, www.seriouslyfish.com
