I was wondering if anyone had any kilifish cause I ve only ever seen them in books before and there is one that looks really cool I think its called Aphyyosemion gardneri.
Also some fish called Nothobranchius rachovii which is not a kilifish but looks heaps cool I was wondering if anyone has had them before and how they are

Jason

They look like this (kilifish) ( this is just off the internet )

and the Nothobranchius rachovii (also off internet)

J-Man, are you located in the U.K.? They have a big killie association there! Also, killies can be purchased as eggs and raised in your tank. It saves a bundle on shipping!

http://www.bka.org.uk/index.php Usually they have a classifieds section, but that's probably in the members section. Here's the club in the U.S.

I just looked at this Aquarium store site, which is near where I live and they d stock them only at their warehouse so if I want them I'll have to get them to order some in, but first I'll do some further research on them. I'm not sure on that other fish though

You might also be able to get the eggs mailed to you from another continent. Check your local laws though. I heard Austrailia is really strict on what they allow in that is live.

Jason

Yeah they are don't want anything in here that could be harmful. It's apparently the strictest country, have to quarantine everything just about. Otherwise you can get fined $10 000 AUD.

I just had a search on the internet and found out that the second fish picture above is also a kilifish. Looks pretty good don't you reckon. There is only one place in the city that sells them but I'm not sure if they have them in stock as Ive never seen them before only on their website

hi
i bought 10 killifish eggs a few days ago for my daughter and the first one has just hatched, we are so excited. it's our first fry.
they are Aph.Gardneri Gold killifish & i bought them on ebay, £3.95 for 24 but we only found 20 in the peat, it was the most painstaking hour of my life looking for them (my friend kept half) but it was worth it.
