Here is a short film on the other breeding pair (they are now in a separate tank):

This is not the first time they spawn, they have been doing it for at least 4-5months, first it was the biggest male with the biggest female. But after a while he changed to a smaller female and at one point he spawned with both females at the same time!! If that wasn't enough, both males spawned with two females at the same time in the same tank!!!
Amazing to see courting behavior in bichirs! Reminds me of the way snakes court - the male rubbing his head all over the female's body. Good luck with the spawn.
Congrats, thats awesome. How big are the breeding pairs? I would be interested in parameters maybe something there is putting them in the mood 
, or maybe you just happen to have some very sexy irresistable guys and gals in the tank.

They are about 45-50cm....
I have NO idea what the parameters are, but i know that the water is hard from our well and rich in lime (calcareous?)
Good luck with this! Its amazing how far this hobby have come here when theres people breeding polys. Lycka till!
