Nine months after trading for one trio of Emerald Killifish… the colony is coloring up! Breeding fish involves a long term plan for a good place that fry can grow out as much as it is just getting healthy adult fish to spawn in the first place. Here was the long nine month process… -
After having bred a hundred or more of these guys, I’m loving watching their colors develop in this nice 33 gal. long. When asked if it’s possible to put these in groups, my answer is a wry “yessss!” -

Inspired by rewatching some Foo the Flowerhorn recently, here's the start of a series of short videos under the heading "Emerald Killifish Journal." The thumbnail is our adult male. These are Fundulopanchax Scheeli that we got from fellow PVAS Aquarium Club member Bob Bock. He gave us one male, one female, and one juvenile (which turned out to be another female). Checking the spawning mop every day, we're really started to see a ton of eggs lately. In this first video, we add eggs pulled form the mop and rested in straight tap water (not dechlorinated tap water) which helps to fight off fungus for a few days. We set up a tiny 2.5 gal with lots of Java Moss, a slow sponge filter, some alder cones, and a large Catappa leaf. We had already added 30x eggs, and this video shows us adding 20x more. So . . . with 50x Killifish eggs in this tank, we're hoping for something exciting to hatch within the next few weeks! It can take 14-21 days for them to hatch. They will feed on vinegar eels for a little while, along with very fine dry fry foods. After a few weeks, they can begin to consume baby brine shrimp. -
Just starting to work with Fundulopanchax scheeli. Pulled about 12 eggs from spawning mop. Only one egg has made it so far. Feeding vinegar eels. “Nurse-droid” neocaridina helped eat fungus and infertile eggs. Doesn’t bother the wee fry.
