I haven't seen those for ages. I had a friend who maintained them for 30 years. Not my favourites, but interesting, tough fish.

Some time back there was a two part article in The Journal of The American Killifish Association on Rivulus species . The author professed a long time devotion to these fish and wrote all about the various ones he had going back to his high school days . Rivulus are a fascinating group of fish but don’t go by what I say , I’m one of those guys that like killifish .

That fish is a weird one, because it really has loyal keepers. I found it too large, and being a flighty sort, too colourless. I had them in the 90s, bred them, tried to share them and moved on. But a lot of people who get them fall for them and keep them generation after generation. It's interesting to see.
