Ornate Breeding

[cougar579]

My female is starting to fatten up lately. she is around 17in and is with a 18in male and other diff bichirs. Is it possible she is holding eggs?

it might be possible, if she is starting to pump up with eggs your pair might breed, lets hope a see, my senegalus bichirs spawn after 3 years of keeping them

how will you determine if an ornate is male or female?

how will you determine if an ornate is male or female?

Same as with any polypterid the anal fin of the males are broader and more muscular than the females-Anne
