You're totally right, let's just have fun. I must have been confused by all the "..." (BTW, that's not meant to be critical, just pointing out that it is tough to hear a person's tone through text). I'm not meaning to get ugly about being called a bro, it's happened a few times in this thread already, I was just reacting to how I thought you were saying stuff. Which, it sounds like you're saying is the opposite. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, then my apologies. Forgive me?;)

Anyway, if we can get past this hiccup then here's a couple of pics of the fry. He's moving all over the place.:thumbsup:

I guess this is what baby bichirs look like huh?​




Well I'll be damned......I guess one of the two of us has never seen a bichir egg.....(me)lol Good job....I thought you were saying the fry slipped out of the egg and went under the pot...I just re read the post and I think it was me who misunderstood first.....Welcome, you are among great company in your breeding endevours...I guess I will sit back and learn as apposed to sitting here blabbing about something I have no clue about.....Good on you :)
 
Psh!!! No worries, it's all good friend! For all it's worth...I am sorry I came out you full speed ahead.

I just hope the little guy lives and that he'll let all his little siblings live too! According to Anne, the toughest part is ahead...getting him to eat!

Not yet, but then, most of the eggs were eaten or destroyed. She's laid a bunch today and I nabbed them before anyone could get to them and I put them in the nursery. I'll post more pics as I see them all hatching.

Well, it was kind of unexpected. I guess the only advice I have is try getting a male and female bichir, having no previous knowledge of them before now and setting them loose in a tank....whammo! Breeders!:D
