Thanks I love them.
They are a week old, I want to have a Large Family Gruop of them before i consider selling any. (I know you want some)

They are doing great and still dropping fry.
The female looks huge ATM.

I have Noticed an odd behavior/interaction Between Hetty and one of my Clown Killie Fish Males.
The Clown will chase the Tiny male away and then they will spiral up and down very close to each other. Very interesting to watch them do this as they look so different from each other.
Do you suppose the Clown is Trying to Court her.

Yeah they are Very Fun to Watch.
I really Like How they will stand up to larger fish.

I have seperated a few fry to keep them on there own away from the main family group.
Just wanna see how they develop.

I find thay do better when kept in a famiy group. and when separated thay seem to take longer to grow

Is that hijacked? Lol. However this is pretty wrong place to ask where we can collect wild fish as majority of posters come from UK but im sure that you can try net these fish near shallower and weedy water, try thinking like least killifish where will I at if I were least killifish?
