Albino annectens ?

[pola]

It is impossible to reproduce these animals in aquarium, but it was already done here in Rio de Janeiro in a muddy bottom tank.... All the photos are mine, less f the leucistic SAL that a friend took last week. The couple in the photos is togheter since 3 years now and as they grew a lot they are now in an aquarium with 900 gallons
Back to the topic.... I honestly think the albino is an annectens, but i m not sure ... Do you know me if Oddball still attends this forum ? I would love his opinion

Wow! That’s the first time I’ve seen 2 Africans sharing a tank! Is it a male and female?

Oddball sorry to bug but we could use your expert opinion...and the pics are great so it wouldn’t hurt to take a look

Now that I’ve seen your lungfish I need to get more lungfish and experiment some more. Thanks so much for the pics and knowledge.

How did you introduce them? Did you know it was a male and female before you introduced them?

In your experience is there any tricks you know that will decrease the aggression? Bigger tank, lower/higher temp, bigger tankmates, hiding spots, etc? I’ve been thinking of putting other fish with my lungfish but have heard bad experiences and scared to try.

My advice is : do not try put 2 lungfishes togheter ! It was a trick, but it ls a very long history to another topic

Btw, few more questions for you pola. the pic right below the leucitic SAL is your female annectens. Is the pic right below the female annectens (the smaller brown annectens with the large spots) your same female annectens when it was a juvenile? Or is she the smaller gilled annectens right above the pic with you? I'm trying to understand color/pattern changes as annectens mature.

Also, what is the age on your male annectens, and can you tell me more about the roe on your female? Thanks
