Bichirs Breeding? 7/11/03
Hi, I have a question on how to breed Bichirs. I have two of them, one male,
and one female. my question is what size tank should I use, and is there any
"tricks" to get them to breed. also what water qualities should I have. any
other information would be much appreciated. Thank you
,regrettably, I am not aware of captive commercial propagation of these fishes
(naturally v. hormones). Will post on the daily FAQ page for feedback from our
readers though... do check back for the next couple days by reading the FAQs.
Best of luck! Anthony>
Marbled Bichir repro. 7/22/06
Hi, this is Kiel speaking and I have a breeding question. In the near
future I'm getting a 55 gallon tank, and I'm planning to try to breed
my Marbled Bichir pair. I have learned everything I need to know
about breeding them, except what size they breed at. I really need your help
on this.
<Likely at eight inches (20 cm.) or so... Please see here:
