Breeding Bichirs (Polypterus)

[alpineridge]

Any one had any success breeding Polypterus? I'm a graduate student that desperately wants larvae for my PhD project! I know several species have been bred in captivity, but can't seem to find any protocols for it. Any personal experience or references would be appreciated.

You should PM Toirtis. He is a reptile expert and he has a LOT of bichirs. He would probably be the best person to ask.

Theres a book ''Jurassic Fish'' has a section on breeding them-Anne
