most common way to buy killifish.... is to buy the eggs

very interesting and fun to hatch them and raise them yourself

was not aware of this im not a killifish person, why are they sold as eggs rather than hatched fish?

Here's an online journal by someone who hatched out some of these eggs. They sound very easy to raise, and quite spectacular!

I'd take them but I have another kind of killi fry already, and no more tank space!

Firstly because of easy!

It's easy to mail 50 eggs to someone than it is to mail a breeding pair of fish.

The eggs are really really tough.

The eggs need to be stored in peat for 3 months before they will hatch if they are annual killifish.

You can buy killifish and your lfs... but if you want a more rare and hard to find killifish your going to have to order eggs...

Part of the fun of killifish is hatching and raising them from fry. Some killifish grow so fast they are ready to breed in three weeks!

We can't buy just a small bunch of eggs can we? We have to get all 98?

LOL i hope you are kiddin around she's only got 50 of them the 98 is the year collected designation.....

In addition to its two-part name, many killifish species have been assigned one or a few words more, and a number. This is why killifish names can appear very long and complicated, especially compared to other scientific fish names. When looking at killifish auction sites, you can for instance stumble over names such as "Nothobranchius rachovii Beira 98". We already know what Nothobranchius rachovii means (this fish belongs to the genus Nothobranchius and its species name is rachovii), but what about "Beira 98"? Beira 98 may seem cryptic, but it is actually a very straightforward collection code. If you purchase a Nothobranchius rachovii Beira 98, you purchase a Nothobranchius rachovii that was collected near the African village named Beira in the year 1998, or a descendant of such fish.

Ohh I misunderstood! How cool. I have always wanted to try killifish but I don't know if I want 50 fry If you would be willing to sell a small batch of eggs I would be interested. I am not sure exactly how they are packaged so if that is not possible oh well

Hi there,

they are very small fry when they hatch and it is really hard to raise all of them.

you might end up with half the fish in the end, so out of 50 eggs you may have 20-25 adults. they start small but grow very fast and are a very easy Killifish to care for and Breed.

very interesting...too bad I dont have a free tank, or else I would take them.

 

[Emily]

Can they survive at room temperature? And can u hold them until the weekend?
