splendidbetta Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 It is. I wonder if the ammonia could have evaporated along with the water so that it condensed and found its way into the containers? I don't think the fish caused it, as other fish with the same water and water change timing had no problems. It was just those three floating in the cycling tank... and there was no way any ammonia-water could splash or dip into those containers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieOrCory Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I still think a school of: Clown Killies or Clown Panchax Pseudoepiplatys annulatus would look great in a tank. Actually I know this for a fact Since I have a school of 10 in a tank - need females though Here in Canberra I've seen them between $3.95 to $7.95 ea. cheaper if you buy numbers. Currently BayFish have it on their list. So you should be order them through any shop that gets their fish from bay. AI might also have them, but you have to check. Should also mention these guys are the size of an adult neon tetra! So not very big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splendidbetta Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 That is such a unique color-combo! What are they called though lol? Edit: Stupid question... look more carefully next time Are these a hybrid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieOrCory Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 They are the real deal not hybrids. Hybrids are a big no no in killifish world! And who needs to hybridise fish when you have these natural colours and paterns on the fish anyway :dontknow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I know, I read that killi hybrids were not good after I asked lol I just can't believe how a black/white fish has a blue, red and orange tail! As if someone cut and pasted body parts Killis are beginning to seem very interesting to me :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 How easy are the Pseudoepiplatys annulatus to keep and breed? Are they fairly easy peasy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieOrCory Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 :lol: They are very easy to keep as long as you do not neglect your tank they thrive. I would say they are less sensitive than guppies!!! Breeding is a little tricky! Getting eggs is not a problem. Hatching the fry is not a problem either. But due to the size of the fry feeding them can be a bit of a problem. Though for those who play around with betta fry it is not that much of a challenge :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Thanks Serkan. I noticed they are on Bays list lately. They seem like the fry would be like raising Trichopsis pumila. The fry are soo teeny, lots of algae and java moss for the fry to feed off first the few weeks? I have seen pairs of Aphyosemion australe at a shop around here and I so tempted to buy a pair as they are $20 a pair. (Not sure if I want to breed too much in winter, it's so cold here.) Along with some other Aphyosemions (not sure which ones, they aren't labelled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
