  1. Death by Fish Tanks

    Barrel of Gold Journal

    Had a spare big planter to use for native small fish so I decided to use it for a handful of Golden Topminnows. By the time they came, the weather suddenly got colder and more "Fall-like," And I don't want to risk their lives putting them in torpor just after shipping. So I'm keeping them in the...

    Austrolebias Bellotti posing

    Just wanted to share my gorgeus Austrolebias Bellotti (a type of southamerian killifish). He has swimbladder disease but I've been taking care of him with good water quality and plenty of food so he gets better.

    Killifish for 6.6g or Smaller Tank(s)?

    Recently I've been thinking about stocking my 6.6g long tank again, and decided I wanted to try something other than Betta splendens for once. While dwarf puffers, anabantoids, and possibly dwarf rasbora have been considered as possible residents, are there any killifish species that do well in...

    Red striped killis and neocaridina shrimp

    Hi all, Quick question, I was looking at getting some red striped killis for my 60L cube (~15 gallons) as they looked amazing in my LFS. I’ve been doing research on them, but haven’t found any info on whether they attack cherry shrimp or not and was hoping someone here could give me some advice...

    5 gallon killifish tank

    I have a 4.2 gallon tank that was used to house platy fry for about 2 months and was only emptied this weekend, however the tank or sponge filter have not been washed as I don’t want to remove beneficial bacteria. If I were to get this set up and cycled again, would it be possible to have a pair...

    Killifish in higher temperatures

    I recently decided to make use of the space in my Discus tank by introducing a killifish. I maintain my Discus at around 82- 83°F. Do you think its a good idea. There are lots of good hiding places for the killifish.

    Gardneri Male won’t breed?

    Hi! At the end of June, I purchased 4 killifish: two males and two females. One of the males was larger and more dominant, and so he was the one breeding to the females, and he did so often. Within a week, he died mysteriously. Tank parameters were normal (don’t remember but around 0/0/10-30) so...
