I have a few bichirs but i was wondering if bichirs would cross breed with other bichirs??? I have 1 Senegal(9inch), 2 Albino Senegal(5inch), and 1 ornate(4inch). would any of them breed?? I know that if i got 1 male and 1 female albino i would have a chanse but i mean would the albino breed with the Senegal or would the ornate breed with the albino or Senegal??

Most likely of the senegalus's would breed with eachother but since the ornate is an upper jaw it might breed also-Anne

now sucessfuly breeding is another issue

bichirs takes a long time to reach maturity, i would give them about 3 years, it is said that they will breed under a stormy setting, cold water might help
