Hi my name is Leon , Im from Birmingham UK .

We have 3 tropical fish tanks , with the 1st community tank being ran for over 3 years now . My son then started hes own livebarer tanks , hes is now a year and half old after having numerous fry.

The reason i have joined the forum was to get information with regards the 3rd tank we have set up which is a killifish breeding tank. Only bought our first killies a few weeks back and must say im fascianated by them , So we bought some eggs and tried the whole peat and water , and as it stands at the moment have 12 N. Guentheri fry at 2 weeks old . It has been brilliant watching them grow. Will add the fry are not in a tank at the moment just a raising tray.

This tuesday we have another 20 eggs to hatch from the nigerianus Misajé gold killifish.

Obviously with the killis the males can get territorial , but would they still do so with the own sibblings that they have been raised with ? If so i fear it may be a case of starting a few more new smaller tanks or selling some males.

Any information regarding killifish would be greatly recieved as we have only just started learning about them.



Thanks Leon
