Got 2 pairs of Lemon Killies, Leptolucania ommata, and a pair of Aphyosemion (Chromphyosemion) loennbergii.

Lemon Killies are native to Florida and are my favorite nano-Killy. Males have bright yellow fins and a barred body pattern, and females have a solid line, sometimes an extra spot near the analfin. They only get about 1 3/4 inches, close to the same size as Heterandria formosa.

The loennbergii are not seen as often as other Biv types, they like very clean, moving water and can be tricky to maintain. They tend to be slightly smaller than the more common bitaeniatum and splendopleure.

Haven't gotten to take pictures of these individuals yet, but here's some old photos of past fish.

Leptolucania male, yellow fins aren't so obvious in front of mop.

This old photo of loennbergii Lolodorf resembles the new one I just got.

Nice finds. The ommata are attractive little guys & the loennbergii are lovely.
