I was just cleaning the tanks today after trying to transfer some java moss from my 10g to the 75g and right after I sat down at the computer I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. On the side that faces my computer (tank and computer are side by side - about 2' apart). I had to double look, "I don't have any fish that small." Then I thought perhaps it was an oto on its side but no, thats not right. I get up and look, its a tiny little killifish!
I manged to catch the little bugger and have him in a breeding net with some java fern and moss - have one of my nets over it just incase the little guy decided he wants to jump. I'm pretty sure its a male, it already has the bright read on the tip of its fins like my male does. I tried getting some pictures but ot a single one came out not even a blurry one. Its about 3/4".
I'm thinking this might explain why my killifish look so huge. I think they've been feeding themselves behind my back
I'm just glad I found this one.
Update* Just found a second little killi. It was right under the next, I had guppies watching everything I was doing so I thought I was gunna lose it but he's in the net now. This one is less than a quarter an inch in length though o_0!
