Been looking at the thread on tankbusters in the photography forum and really like the look of the Bichers.

I don't know anything about them so was hoping someone could tell me a few basics about keeping them such as recommended tank size, water parameters, food, sexing and breeding if known and tank setup.

Or if anyone can give me a link to a good online resource that might be easier.

Thanks,

G'day Poncho.

Try a "Google Search" you will be surprised what you can come up with.

BTW.. Vebas has a 14cm Bircher for sale.

Its far cheaper to buy them privately then from vebas.

I was spawning Senegals a few years ago when they were newish to the country. Great fish.

Delhezi are next on my spawn list...

I'm not looking at buying any until I know exactly how to care for them.

Found a couple of good sites using google but if anyone here is willing to share their knowledge about keeping these guys, it would be greatly appreciated.

I give senagals the same water conditions as angelfish, they are easy to breed but hard to raise the young. They have been spawning for the last 5 days, so far about 100 eggs, I only managed to raise one from their last spawn this time I should do better.
Cheers Terry
