Hi dave,


killifish are one of the few species of fish eggs you can buy, this is because they live in temporary pools which dry up every year. before this happens they lay eggs in the soil which survive untill the next rainy season and hatch out.

as a rule, killifish generally like soft acidic water around pH 6-6.5, and need a peat substrate to breed in. i would be interested in the fish but my tank setup wouldn't be sutiable for such a beautiful species.

you don't see many killifish for sale at aquarium shops so if your interested in tryin them this is probably a goos source of them
