I was just wondering how you can tell male from female and if there is a certain age they have to be. I got my first bichir around 4 months ago and its 7inch, probably a year old.
 
The males analfin is approx twice as wide as the feamles and in some species may be edged in black

I also have one more question concering the nice picture people get of their brichir. I have a 6.4 mega pixle Kodak camera but i can never get a clear picture of my brichir. Im not sure if its the lighting,or the camera.
 
i don't know how much lighting you have, but between your camera or lighting, i'd say the problem is most likely lighting
