Great looking fish. I believe these are annual killifish. I'm looking forward to seeing how they reproduce for you in the tank.

 

[rwong2k10]

thanks for the kind words!

yeah these ones are annual's, so they die after a year.

Besides loving apisto's, killi fish are one of my top fish to keep/own

I just noticed you can buy their eggs off ebay for $6.99 + shipping

Wow beautiful male! What kind of tank/setup do you have them in?

I'm going to have to look for them when April gets another batch.

oh they're in my 10 gallon planted, with co2 grow out tank, it's full with xmas moss and flame moss and a field of styrougene porto velho, so it's a grow out tank until I have enough to put into my 120 gallon

Ray,
Wow you are into everything. When is the 1200 gallon Congo river biotype with Goliath tiger fish coming?
I used to keep gairdneri, scheeli, and australe killies a long time ago. I regret not still keeping them and I often want to start another colony again. I think there is a society that deals with killies...or there used to be. The one I wanted to try was blue gularis.

Cheers
Hammer

thanks hammer,

killi fish are fun, I have a soft spot for orange australe's.

One day I will have a brown discus biotope tank, one day

I got some off ebay once. I wasn't as attentive at feeding the fry and cleaning the tank as I should have been, so only a couple survived to adulthood. I would like to try it again sometime and do things properly.

 

[rwong2k10]

ah great to hear tomc, I'll try it one day, not enough time for me for now

$6.99 USD can't hurt to give it a try
