One of my latest photo of them.They grow up nicely.
Now i got F2 generation of this strain.
Second photo is female F1 I bred in 2020 and male parents of F2 is Wild catched Polypterus bichir (PBB) from Lake Fitri.
F2 are Still growing very well.
They look bit different with F1 and other ordinary lap i can find, maybe because of half PBB gene in them.
(Nigerian Lapradei + Sp. Koloton = F1, F1 + PBB Lake Fitri = F2)
I almost forgot to update F2 on MFK.Those guys growing like crazy and already reach 20cm in just 2 months from hatch.
Quick Update of the 2nd generations (PBB * Nigerian Lapradei * Sp. Koloton)
They are growing up like crazy and some already reach 25~30cm in just 4 months from hatch.
I also got second batch from the same parents.
Hope they can grow up nicely too.
Short update.
The first batch of second generation is still growing up like crazy.
It's been only about 5 and half months after it hatched but already over 30cm.
And the pedigree chart of this hybrid strain.
To avoide the "Hybrid problem" and genetic pollutions of other pure strains (If there is anybody else breed this fish), I keep this chart to make sure which parents fish I used for this strains to keep informations accurate.
I also trying to breed pure regional variations of P. bichirs too but no luck till now.
(I'm thinking to try with my Lake Fitri PBB pairs next year)
And the second batch.
You can see some dents on leteral line of the first batch and I thought it might can be a genetic problems but I couldn't find one in second batch.
So I suspect maybe the food source (Nutrience problem) can make this problem because I fed live baby carps for first batch (wich contain rich Thiaminase) and frozen smelt with extra vitamins for second batch.
Still need to figure out but this is quite interesting to me already.
