Killifish Info

[finalfantay85]

Ok a while back my LFS had some killifish in that they had labelled up as Guenther Killifish but i've not been able to find out anything about them. They were pink and yellow if that helps you to identify them.

I just wanted some info on them in case my lfs ever did manage to get them back in.

Ta guys and I understand if i've not given you anywhere near enough info to work with

Nothobranchius guentheri,
Is what you are looking for.
They would have been red/blue with underlying yellowish tone to the body with a red caudal with black edging.
True African annual species.
Pretty easy to introduce to spawn but the eggs will need a dry period (diapause) before hatching.
Excellent species for the novice to annualism. Fry are fairly large and present little or no problems rearing
Regards

That looks similar but the ones they had were more pink and yellow rather than red.
It could be that it was this species just looking different in their lights. Thanks for the info

Actually the more i look at that pic the more i think it was that species, just not showing the blue tinge under their lights
