Wanted Father?

[Armored_delhezi]

My 10"female sen laid eggs and unfortunately, as soon as she laid her eggs my oscars eats the eggs... But the problem is I don't have a male sen and the only male bichir in my tank is a 8"albino sen and my 12" Endli...

How is that possible???

 

[fishfeeder12]

it would have been a hybrid but oscars are a pain because u cant have them with spawning fish they eat all the eggs!

From what you posted, it sounds like your male (albino) senagal bred with your female (non-albino) senagal. Pretty straight forward.

Albino is just a color morph, not a seperate species.

Ahh ok
so, next question is When will they spawn again so that I will put e\them in sepperate tank?
and What will the frys looked like?

It's possible for them to spawn again, but I would remove the Oscar instead. Just because, the water conditions in their current tank seems to be perfect for them. Moving them to another tank may ruin the mood. The albino trait is recessive gene so the fry will more likely come out with the normal coloration.

 

[Armored_delhezi]

OK so when will they breed again? I'll just put out their other tankmates...

 

[Kogo]

50% normal genes and 50% heterozygus for albino genetics.

Would it be best to have some ground plants so to hide the eggs or so the eggs can adhere to them? Anyway, what's your water conditions like? I would like to spawn delz if possible...

my room temp is 88f. My WC sched is 2x 40% every week with cooler water, after my WC my tank's temp os now on 77-83f... As I observed, Every after my WC, my 2male bichir always bends their anal fin... Maybe that's the sign...

They are in my 240g planted...

My senegals spawn every 2 weeks, once they start it is hard to stop them. I moved my pair into a small tank 24" x 18" x 15" to try to stop them so that the female could have a rest, they spawned the next day.
