The albino super longfin bichir is a stunning addition to my tank. Its long fins move beautifully in the water and it’s very calm. I’ve had it for six months and it’s thriving in a 55-gallon tank with stable water parameters.

Beautiful fish with a unique look. It’s not aggressive and doesn’t bother other fish. I keep it with some catfish and it’s peaceful. Only needs a bit of space and good water quality.

This bichir is a real eye-catcher. The white color and long fins stand out in any setup. It’s active but not too much, and it’s adapted well to my tank’s temperature and pH.
