males have larger anal fins then females. u can ussaly tell the sex around 6'' - 7'' on a senegalus
ok..i'll try taking photos.should i take a wholebody shot or a photo of their anal fins would do?i keep them in a pond,so i'll have to net them if i'll take photos.crowxviii;3093947;3093947 said:

well if they mate and lay eggs odds are they will be eaten by the parents or anyoter occupants of the pond-Anne
are the eggs big enough to be spotted from above?with them are 2 oscars and 5 full grown adults.will they still try to spawn even if there are other fish in the pond?beblondie;3096541;3096541 said:
is there a season that bichirs would breed?or they would breed whenever they're ready?yo_fish_boi;3096681;3096681 said:
the are generally .9mm to 1mm in size.Most likely but the eggs will be eaten by them
and the other fish.there is a polypterid forum here with a primer in the stickie section that cover breeding,i suggest you read it-Anne
