Aquarium strain | | Water conditions: Moderately hard and alkaline | Water temperature: 20-23oC | | Disposition: Active, but not aggresive | Community tank?: Only with species of similar size | | Spawning Method: Spawning Mops | Breeding problems: none | | Sex ratio: Somewhat male heavy | Breeding difficulty: Easy | | Sucess: Fairly sucessful | Years Experience: 2 | | Other Comments: The first species I have bred, and probably not a bad beginner fish. Adults will take crushed pellets as will fry. Growth rate has been very slow in my hands. I am getting slightly more males, I think possibly due to cannilalism at the fry stage?
Seems to cope very wellwith hard London water, unlike Australe orange which need the water softening before spawning. Eggs extremely small compared to other Killifish eggs I've seen, so need sharp eyes to spot them. | | Date this record created: 3rd September 2002 | Breeding date: 3rd September 2002 | | Breeder: William King | Location: London |
