Where can i buy killifish eggs

The nothobranchiids and clown killifish eggs for sale ensure brightly colored fish upon maturity spotted with blue and orange that contrast with your other species such as angelfish and Oscars, which have more monochromatic scales. The Austrolebias killifish generally tops out at around 3 inches, although a few reach over 5 inches. A generously sized tank ensures an appropriate environment both for them and your cichlids or other shy fish. The austrolebias do well in a large aquarium where they live in groups peacefully as long as there are more than three males.

Most killifish swim in lively schools. If you select a variety that is perfect for your size of fish tank and that coordinates well with your other fish for the color scheme you wish to display, then you'll need to know that all varieties are lively jumpers. Any fish species that swims vigorously near the top of the water column needs consideration in the form of a layer of floating plants and a firm cover to your tank.

Killifish reward your care with quick results because they mature rapidly after hatching after a mere three months. You can expect your selection to live upward to five years depending on the species.

In the beginning, your killifish kit provides swift enjoyment as you watch eyes and then the rest of the body develop through the clear egg until hatching frees the fry to their charming first swim. If you select annual killifish such as the Nematolebias whitei, then you may expect swifter maturing and a more curtailed life span than a non-annual species such as Aplocheilus lineatus.

I know what you meant. BTW if nothing hatches from the batch you bought you can tell the seller. It happened only once to me and he sent me a new batch. You can check the eggs to determine if they are ready to be hatched by spreading the peat on a plate and examining them under a bright light.

If you can see their eyes gold rings then they are ready to hatch. After they stop hatching about 2 days you can dry the peat and rewet it in another month or two and you'll get more eggs to hatch. To prevent velvet add 1 teaspoon of salt per gallon and you'll get a much better survival rate. Good Luck! Two more days. Similar Aquarium Threads. Question Has anyone kept a.
