melbournebetta Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 That's a funny thread title and post. But I was at Subscape today and saw my first Killi in person... I made a SQUEE noise and think that I wants it. Then I came home with an angel fish the size of a pea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Nut Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Just saw her post a video of them. Luckily I am not a huge fan of annual killifish. I remember a time when I was desperate for another Betta rutilans pair. Now my main pair have started breeding weekly again, and I have 8 or 9 snotty and argumentative adults to separate out I have a little scarlet badis male. My other male jumped to his demise sadly through a tiny hole in the gladwrap. Scarlet badis are so adorable. My guy zips around his 10L tank and hunts down the grindal worms and BBS I put in there. If you love bettas, you will definitely love scarlet badis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davo Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 True saw the videos as well. The guys look pretty big already though But currently I am still trying to obtain a larger Aphyosemion collection and don't want to delve across to the other groups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briztoon Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Oh, they look so much nicer in person. They're only ~2cm TL, but I don't know if that's large or small for them. someone does have other Killies in store as well. As for the scarlet badis, they are small at ~1cm. There are also some Chocolate gouramis and Samurai Gouramis in store. But both gourami species need super soft water.

Wild Nut Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I so have to go up and visit someone's store. It sounds like a fish-lovers heaven. Wish I had more space and more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiguy Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Rachovii are the most colourful fish Ive ever kept.They are hard work as you are constantly collecting eggs preparing peat wetting peat and feeding the voracious fry.These ones are probably the Beira 98 strain as there fry are larger and easier to raise than the strain we had decades ago.They are very prolific and a great challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieOrCory Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Nice! Hey Briztoon can please check which killies she has when you are in there next? I don't want to disturb them ringing and asking which killies they have as I have most of that are in Australia, but if someone gets anything I don't have I'd love some.
