[Ronny]

Thats awesome Terry, Congrats.

You're the only person I've ever seen with any Bichir fry.

How much do the Dels go for?

[MONSTAF1SH]

Thats awesome!
Did you manage to get my old female to spawn? Or was it another?

[Managuense]

Thats wonderful news Terry. Can't wait to buy a couple of small ones of off ya.

Was it my old male that did the deed

[Terry]

Ronny it's a bit hard to price fish that are still eggs but I would guess at around the $200 mark retail when they are 3 inches long.
The girl was from Monstafish and the boy from Managuense
They are still spawning after 24 hours there would be in excess of 1000 eggs, most of them won't hatch it's their first spawning so I might not get any fry.Their spawning ritual looks the same as the senagals, they spawn for 3 days at a time. It took several spawns with the senagals before they got it right but some of the eggs I have collected look good, I will keep you informed.
Cheers Terry

[Fox]

First surviving is mine

Get my dibs in now...

Now to start collecting the other Bichir and spawn those

[Ronny]

Thanks Terry,

I was just after the price in general for smaller ones lol
But WOW, 1000 fry at $200 each, that's another house!!! lol.

If you could keep us updated, that'd be great!

[Managuense]

Sorry Az but seeing as it was my male that was a part of the breeding i should have first dibs along with Jase

I'm glad to hear that you got them breeding and that I've got the female to the right person.
Your doing an excellent job for us guys over here in W.A so keep up the good work....
Now get those Edlicheri breeding!

Well Done Mate

Now now guys, Im sure there'll be enough to go round lol.

Even if 90% dont survive, that leaves at least 100 and I'm sure you dont want 100 each

Then there'll be next time, I'll have to wait a few batches untill there's enough for me to get a couple

[anchar]

Congrats Terry!

Andrea

[Tucunare]

good one terry, ill grab 10 when there ready, all then sens are still goin strong to, again congrates mate your probably the first in oz to do it

[Terry]

All of the eggs fungused, either the male is a dud or too young. The senagals breed every 2 weeks so it shouldn't be too long before the delhezis go off again.
WANTED large male delhezi
Cheers Terry

A valid question IMO. Hopefully someone will have an answer soon.
