update: bichir spawn

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i didnt do anything special that i am aware of to induce the spawn. just happened one day after i got home from work.

thank you everyone for the replies and support... i have hope they will spawn again. i will be more prepared next time and i know what it looks like when they do spawn.

I was wondering how old your bichirs are and what food you give them and how much I have hopes of breeding a pair of endlicheri
 
gollum- my two reg. senegals are about 2 years old and the male albino is about 10 months old. i feed pellets everyday but only the regular male eats them. i alternate chopped raw beef heart and shrimp every other day. i also throw in some red worms and sinking carnivore pellets 2 times a week. i have a breeding pair of convicts so there is always some convict fry swimming around for them to hunt.

i used to have a cool endi breeding video but i cant seem to find it. i am sure it is posted on here somewhere if you do a search. good luck with the endis :)



DrBranDo- unfortunately the eggs did not get fertilized this time. so there is no fry :( but if they did it once they will do it again.

the female is 10"
the regular male is 7"
the albino male is 6.5"
 
thanks for the info XRAYZ
I hope your senegals go for it again ;)
I will be putting my endis in a big 6ft tank and will post some pics soon
they are only 12 -14 months old so I'll have to wait a bit longer for breeding
I did see a breeding vid on endlichericlub site
 
Hi Ray,
did a search for this old thread and thought I'd ask if anyone has any more info or experience on this subject?

thanks Jason
 
very cool
 
have some advice go read the primer in the stickie section it covers breeding -Anne
 
I wish we had more first hand accounts like this. I'm working on it lol
