Fish Folk Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 When saving certain Killifish eggs, we pull from mop and save in damp paper towel, wetted with Rooibos Tea water. After a week or so, the fertile eggs begin to display a dark mark - the eye of the killifish development. Killi breeders call these eggs “eyed-up.” See attached photos marked up for examples. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I have never keeped killifish but it's very interesting how long the eggs can be stored before hatching all the different techniques for hatching 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 @Fish Folkwhich killifish are these eggs from? Agree with @Coluthat I’ve been fascinated by their reproduction. Not sure I have the patience for the annuals but have thought about golden wonderkilli and fundulopanchax like blue galaris. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are Fundulopanchax Scheeli (Emerald Killifish). Here’s my main breeding male. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 @Fish FolkThe Fundulopulchax group of fish are all stunners! Have you ever kept them in a community tank? Or are they a species only fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adult males tend to be “nippy.” If added when young, probably they could work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
