They can't figure out what month it is, they're still trying to figure out how it is, that they're swimming w/ Asian rummynoses. Nothing hatched, so maybe still too young...

Update: I'm no longer calling him baby or beauty, this week he's that Little $h!t. I pulled him out of the tank as he was tormenting another male - and that's when I uncovered the two dead females. So now I have three males, and after donating over a hundred of their siblings to the club - no females. He is stunning though... There we go, next week's name Stunning Little $h!t |

Well, he is stunning that little spit! Don't worry, i'm sure someone you donated to would be willing to sell you a female or two. Say... $27.99 each?
All i keep is a poor genuine imitation barbatus "paleatus" or i would have sent you some females right quick,sorry.http://youtu.be/Zrw52NKQYJg?list=UUe...YQubeVZiS6fkOg

I know that if you had a spare female she'd be here w/ the celestial pearls / plants that you sent me - you're a true hobbyist (w/ shipping skills, which makes it even better)! Yesterday, another club member brought me some Epiplatys togolensis; which are already spawning , saw a few eggs a while ago |

So you just kicked that poor Barbatus to the curb and now you're a killie nut? Make up my mind already! Seriously, looks like a great addition to your collection,its always a wonder why killiefish are not more popular. That fish is pretty and seems kinda rare,is it an annual? So now put yer bifocals on and start picking eggs on a daily basis.

non annual according to this site : http://http://translate.google.com/t...y/&prev=search Found more eggs this morn, in mop and on the glass, so now I don't know what I have. The candidates are killies, ottos or c. napoensis, or a combination thereof Lots were bad, so it might be the napos which are huge and never spawn. But I'm hoping that the ottos are coming of age, and that the first spawn was bad...there were about 60 eggs on the glass , catfish style. But who knows?? We'll see if anything hatches... |

Congratulations, the naps and/or the ottos "smelled" the milt from the killies and that triggered them to spawn?
