Crossbreed...

[Armored_delhezi]

Is it possible to crossbreed different kinds of bichir? For example, sen and delhezi?

There are some great looking hybrids out there. However, they're probably the result of stripping and not from natural spawning.

Yes it's possible and it's been done already

Here are some of my hybrids.
Polypterus endlicheri endlicheri x polypterus bichir bichir

Polypterus endlicheri endlicheri x polypterus bichir lapradei

They look good, I guess we're lucky bichirs aren't easy to breed like cichlids or we'd end up with a heap of unidentifiable 5th generation hybrids...

Give them time.Remember they only recently started captive breeding them

nice King El were they expensive or little more than regular species

King, I know on some forums the debate rages between "pure breed" and hybrids.

All I will say are that those are some MIGHTY impressive fish you have!!!!!
Thank you for sharing, I would love to see more pics posted of them.

What does that mean artificially inseminating the fish?
