I am curious if the "behavior" information is from a personal account or if there is a resource to cite?JCWBryan (talk) 01:36, 16 February 2020 (UTC)JCWBryan[reply]

I have only had my bichir aka "spike" for about 6 months, spike is about 5 inches long. I got him from my sister because she said he was killing her other fish. When I got him, I put him with an african cichlid, and two plecos. Ive not had a problem with him or his tank mates. I feed him mostly live feeder fish. When I first got him he ate small fatheads, and guppies, and ive observed him eat cichlid staple, flakes, and tubeflex worms as well. Ive noticed he hunts mainly at night, though if he's hungry, time doesnt matter. Now he can eat up to ten small goldfish in one night, by morning he looks fat, and very sluggish. After that he will only eat two or three a day, until hese finished the batch of 15. I feed him about 15 small goldfish a week. He seems healthy and happy.

The article states - "Provided the skin remains moist, the creature can remain out of the water for nearly indefinite periods of time". What is "_nearly indefinite_"? Is there a limit, is there no limit? IMO, this should be either "for indefinite periods of time" or "for x hours/days/weeks, etc." or "for their entire lifespan".
