Breeding Habits & Larvae Development

[Vancouver_98683]

A great read for all you poly enthusiasts. Paper from John Samuel Budgett was published in 1901. It's just crazy how old and detailed all his info is, and not much research 116 year later. Highly recommend to look at this. Enjoy

On the breeding-habits of some West-African fishes, with an account of the external features in development of Protopterus annectens, and a description of the larva of Polypterus lapradei

Senegals for now. Ornates when mine are all mature. Possibly laps and endli down the road when they are also mature.
