The Ornate Bichir is a handsome carnivorous fish that can reach an impressive length of two feet. Considered semi-aggressive, P. ornatipinniswill consume any tank mate that'll fit in its mouth, but is quite passive with other larger fishes. Avoid overly aggressive tank mates, as this fish is easily dominated. The Ornate Bichir would do well with larger cichlids, catfishes, arowanas or stingrays. Make sure to equip your tank with a well-fitting lid, as this bichir will show off his land-breathing abilities by jumping straight out of his aquatic residency! If you opt to enjoy the unique presence of the Ornate Bichir in your freshwater aquarium, offer a mix of live and frozen meaty foods along with large carnivore specific pellets.

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.

We purchased this bearded dragon from a local pet store. As I have researching proper care for him, I have noticed that he may in fact be a Rankins dragon. I am just curious as to what he is so we can provide proper care and housing for him. Thank you.

They belly is a shimmering yellow gradually getting duller towards the tail. the tail and fins are yellow with red borders. Its eyes are blue. It seems to be enjoying staying at the top most of the time. Its not aggressive. Please help me ID my fish
