maligne Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 I recently picked up a group of aphyosemion manginatum. Killi fish. I'm going to try to breed them. They are in my comunity tank now but I'm going to set up a breeding tank. Can different varieties of killifish live in a community together? I'm thinking of building a killi only community aquarium. Once I get the breeding going and I have a good group I'd love to trade for other colour varieties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligne Posted March 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 I think the LFS may have miss labeled them because they look like this. aphyosemion gardneri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nandopsis Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Killi fish are amazing, never had them beefy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligne Posted March 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 I'm now setting up a 15 gallon species only tank. For these killis. I found out that they are a west African Gabon variety. I would love some recommendations on the build. If interested look for the post in the community forum as I may add some Cory's later on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Find out what your killis s spawn in - if it's peat, just have a shallow container available (like cream cheese or sour cream) so you can take it out to harvest the eggs - I had a few that I'd rotate through when I kept peat-spawners 20yrs ago. If they're mop spawner or eg scattering, I like using nylon or polyester yarn as it won't break down - get a darker color so it's easy to see the eggs. Bushy plants like hornwort and is nice, and floating plants like water lettuce and Salvinia sp. are good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligne Posted March 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I have the tank set up with some salvinia, floating anubius and a bit of fire moss attache to drift wood. They seem to really like to swim around in the roots on the floating anubius. I haven't found out what kind of spawners they are just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
