    Hi

    I need your input PLEASE

    I can get the following Killi's in a few weeks!!
    1. Nothobranchius korthausae red.
    2. Nothobranchius guentheri red
    3. Nothobranchius guentheri gold
    4. Nothobranchius guentheri blue
    5. Nothobranchius palmqvisti
    6. Nothobranchius patrizii
    7. Simpsonichthys constanciae
    What is the demand for them at present? I expect them to cost in the same ballpark as the Apisto's was per pair.

    Remember this is to gage demand and not to place orders and I personally would love to have them again!!!!
    I HAVE FOND MEMORIES WHEN IT COME TO KILLI'S :nuts:

    For the beginners - you need to separate the male Notho's, males WILL kill each other! Ideally set up a small aquarium for each pair and you will have FUN.

    Ideal for that 1 foot aquarium you did not know what to do with and with little effort you can breed them as well.

    Moolis, why do you keep doing this?
    You want me to turn out like you?
    With some 104 tanks in ur garage?
    I don't carry cash anymore but I think
    I must leave my cards at home for at least 1
    Month. To prevent me buying more fish!

    1. Nothobranchius patrizii
    2. Simpsonichthys constanciae
    3. Nothobranchius korthausae red.

    Those are beautiful Moolis! I wish I had all the tank space to take all of these beautiful fish! I know that there is a bunch of people who are keen on Killies. Tyrone Genade is busy studying them, so perhaps he may be interested in a pair or 2?

    When do we start the conversion of your place into a breeding room?
    And it was 42 in the house and 106 in the garage :blink1:
    But I expect you to beat that :)

    I agree - only problem is I need to take 80+ pairs and I am not convinced the current SA market will be strong enough to take it all :(

    BBQ - With the wife on your side you should go DOUBLE :)

    Africa aquatic - I am back in the office (for now till my back start acting up) and we will courier via airlink.

    Due to the scare I got with the raptures disk Drikus/Didi and or Shawn will do this now to ensure continuity, even if I can not be at the shop.

    Hi Moolis

    That would be fantastic. I am looking for trios. Also any advice as to where I can get peat from. It has been a while since I had killifish so looking forward to it.

    Interest / capabilety seem very limited and to order 200+ per species do not seem viable at present :(

    OR AM I WRONG?

    I think there is but a handfull of people that really appreciate Killis for what they are. The general public not so much.
