What Sort Of Killifish Is This

[red-devil0602]

I have just got hold of some killifish eggs and was wondering what type they are, here is a picture of one of the parents

I'm no expert but looks like a Aphyosemion gardneri to me.
Ask Big-C as he is the killie expert here.

 

[Mad Duff]

I would say Aphyosemion Gardneri Nigerianum


Edit: Fundulopanchax Gardneri Nigerianum

 

[Notsofab]

I would say Aphyosemion Gardneri Nigerianum

I think thats the old name according to this site ( old genus name not valid ) : http/www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/aphy-gar.htm

It is Fundulopanchax gardneri nigerianum. Found in Nigeria and Cameroon. There are many collection sites and each is given a location or code. ie: Fundulopanchax gardneri nigerianum Misaje Whilst you can eliminate a few by colouration, finnage etc. it is sometimes hard to be precise in naming the fish correctly with the correct location. This would only come into play for die hard Killifish purists who do not want to cross breed their stock. (cross breeding is frowned upon in Killifish circles). Females are impossible to differentiate from strain to strain. If you need to know more on breeding and maintenance of these then just ask.

well the eggs came in a bag of peat so i put it in a couple of inches of water with an air stone, what do i do now, how do i know there is any eggs in there? he might of sold me a bag of dirt

 

[BigC]

If you only have eggs then why did you post a pic, surely the seller would have told you what species of Killifish the eggs were from.
