[FS]: lots of different strains of killifish, Stilfontein

My pleasure!! Very nice choices and looking great. Excellent pic! Thanks for posting.

 

How's everyones fish eating and what?

 

Mine don't stop eating ha ha but I feed them a Variety of micro worms, blood words and multiple types of flakes as well as brine shrimp when I can

 

Awesome francoisve thanks for sharing, you guy's got some lovely fish. good luck with the breeding all

 

I don't think I will have any problem breeding mine. In fact I think I might run into problems with overcrowding so I need to find a few outlets t distribute to.

 

how's everyones fish doing???

my jos plateuas are exremely shy, is this normal? i cant seem to find a good article on them, does anyone have anything?

 

My fish are doing great. I've only had 1 out of about 60 that have died.

As for yours being shy I have no idea lol Sorry

 

I'm struggling with my n eggersi.
They struggle to take food. They don't go for flakes AT ALL.
they on micro worm, but they are getting too big for that.
mozzi larvae too big, they don't like daphnia.. help

 

This is a long shot here but have you thought about letting brine shrimp grow to a much bigger size and feeding that to them. I've seen a video where the guy takes all his leftover BS water, puts it in a container with an air stone and feeds them spirulina powder.

 

I have the Fp. gardneri lafia gold. They aren't at all shy. They are the boldest of all my Killis. I would imagine the different strains of Fp. gardneri would be similar?? My S. constanciae and Epiplatys dageti are very shy. I'm discovering these fish aren't the easiest to keep. Has anybody collected eggs yet?

 

My male eggersi died but the female is eating well. I am feeding mainly Prof. Dirk's Sea life pro activ granules.

 

My dageti's are not shy. The male is displaying constantly to the 2 females. Gonna have eggs soon if this continues

 

as well is my f scheeli. Male is constantly displaying

 

@Jenn mine are exactly the opposite, go figure...
my Fp. Gardneri Jos Plateuas are in a 40 liter tank with lots of plants and rocks and a HOB filter creating a reasonable current, methinks they are not used to this?
my jos plateau females were so gravid you could see the eggs through their abdomens and an hour ago "the big boy" did his thing - squeezed her into a corner - only saw one egg drop. busy cycling a tank for them and made some mops tonight

had a velvet outbreak amongst the eggersis and bbe`s so have to get that sorted before i move the eggersis

 

Could be - Mine have a sponge filter so hardly any flow in the tank. When I walk past the tank they come begging for food.

 

put them in a 20 l tank tonight with a mop and they were swimming around like they owned the place for years, spawend within 5 minutes..!

 

Anything still up for grabs or all gone, done and dusted? I have a few tanks running that I can dedicate to the cause or add a few more if need be?

Later Ferdie

 

@f-fish he still had lots and especially the rare species when I spoke to him two days ago. please let me know if you go there or have anything collected, i want to get some of his worm and fruitfly cultures. he also has many tanks left. @Irma aent me his number, do you have it?

 

Ok I am keen on a drive - but will probably be Sunday if he is available ... If I go with the van then I can take one more person with - but will have loads of loading space.

 

The best would be to contact him and find out what he still has to make sure that the trip is worth it.
If you do go maybe you can bring back a male n eggersi for @Jenn (If he still has some)
