Really nice, they sort of remind me of coelacanths :), strange association, but whatever floats my boat.

Wow he's so big already. Time flies. Congratz on raising a beautiful, healthy fishy ;) When I turn off my tank light and let the sunlight shine on them, their color is just amazing. Like a very shiny shimmery blue/sea green. I will upload some new pics.

Yes these fish are extremely beautiful, I am considering buying eggs online so that I can breed them, shipping the eggs can get a bit pricy though. I have sourced the exact co-ordinates, the names of the 3 people who collected this fish and the general date of the collection trip for these fish, its so interesting how unique they are!

Very nice.
Is this an annual species?

Never kept annual Kilis before. Do they lay eggs and then die?
What happens if you don't allow them to breed?
MItchell
27-09-2011, 16:59
yes, pretty much. If they dont breed and you have no eggs you've lost the species.
