@lloyd378 @DMD123 Thanks guys! The other one seems to be ok. Eating live only… I have to email the vendor to ask what these guys have been eating. They are indeed picky and almost impossible to wean on to pellets… 
the one that died was less active from the start.
I was gonna grow them out, keep one and sell the other to whoever would be interested. They’re pretty rare and these ones were on the cheaper side compared to Predatory fins or Aqua import.
They get to over 2 feet and same care/behaviors as datnoids but can tolerate cooler temps.
Since I’m down to 3 bichirs and the datnoid (who’s getting up there in age) I was going to redo stocking for the 210 which would have the perch as the centerpiece.
