I’m really excited to see these breed, but you’ve thrilled me with the Pearl fin!!, they are so few & far between.🙂 In Louisiana, I’m not likely to keep water cool enough for them. But now, I can enjoy yours. 🎉🐠🎊

Killifish are brackish water... the colors only come out in freshwater,, but they won't breed in freshwater,, they actually breathe air,, in Long Island we used to use them for bait, in brackish water they are grey and black and could be up to 6 in Long.. but when you slowly introduce them to freshwater all their colors explode

I am using ro and my planted tanks Nitrate is almost non existent but I have to do water changes like crazy to keep them as clean as I like. that would be perfect hook a hose to tehother end and disturb the substrate to one end where that sat and you can even change the floss out it was a great idea. lol I do recall you mentioned the price and $30 comes to mind.

A few things that I strongly recommend when getting killifish, start with more than a single pair of a species. Keep your species and locations separate. Make sure your lids are very tight as these guys are incredible escape artists, which is why you should start with more than a single pair. A lot of OG killifish keepers like to say, the person that buys a single pair of a killifish is a fool. All that being said, killifish are one of the most underrated and underappreciated fish in the hobby.

@DoctorlyRob 2 жыл бұрын

I'm confused on your comments meaning. You say buying a single pair is bad? Is this ONLY due to jumping? I've bought one pair of redstriped Killifish hope I get some eggs!

HI Jason, need your advice, i have been breeding fish (easy stuff like cherry barbs). I get the eggs, hatch the fry, but make it to the 2 week mark, then..........lots of casualties. I believe changing the water helps, but i need to change the containers as well (the new container will have less bacteria). big question, i have raised fry to about 4 weeks mark, then i put them in a cycled 10 gallon.......then they die. I am not sure if the water height is too high, maybe they cannot survive the deeper water? what is your opinion? thanks!

I do have baby brine shrimp, but these fry are too small to eat the BBS , (zebra danio fry, cherry barb fry). at least thats what i am thinking, maybe i am wrong about this?? I also put in an oak leaf in each fry container, they seem to feed off of this (i know the cherry barbs do). maybe I have it all wrong and should be feeding them your micro micron food (forgot the name). thanks for the reply. it seems they can eat the bbs at the 4 week mark.
