I have had requests for pics showing bichir spawning mats and my brine shrimp hatchery, the peg in the bottle reminds us which bottle to use next.

Terry when your bichir spawn how many do you get each time

Hi Alex
Here are some more 1 week and 3 months.
Pete
They lay hundreds at a time, the most I have raised from a spawning was about 40 usualy it's 10 to 20. I have about 30 1" to 2" fry ATM. Most spawnings are not collected because I only have 100 aquariums.
Cheers Terry

LMAO, only have 100 aquariums

If you sell a few bichir fry you might get enough to buy a few more tanks, just maybe lol.

I'd be happy to help house a few juvies if need be

Geat pics by the way.

google is your friend.

depends what you mean by tankbuster community. Senegals max out at about 25cm. Hardly a large 'tankbuster' type fish. They also stay quite slender. They would be a tastey snack for most TB's.

They are quite peaceful. With fish of similar size. Only trouble I ever had with them was fry eating each other which Tezza already mentioned.

i did do a google but didnt find the answers i wanted thats why i asked here

Pffffffft, only a 100 tanks thats nothing.
but seriously congrats on the spawn.
Hope they all grow and you sell them all.

its all relative to what you call a tankbuster. I reckon I could feed my catfish adult senegals by the dozens.
