Not got a pic, but they are sexed by the anal fin shape, females are slender males are more muscular and spade like
 
what species and how big are they?The sexual dimorphism on bichirs is fairly obvious the males anal fin is approx. twice as wide as the females
and much more muscular-Anne

Upload a photo of the anal fin and rear end of the Bichirs, I can sex them for you regardless of the size. (within reason)

Go to tinypic.com to upload.

Hi Snowflake, I just stumbled on this I am hoping you are still around, can you help to ID my Senegal Bichir as to if it is male or female?? I am getting an albino soon and I want to see if I can get an opposite sex so they might not be so competitive.

here is a link to the photo (best I could do from my phone)
