	Killies
BM Fish Master Posts: 1436 Kudos: 239 Votes: 127 Registered: 24-Aug-2000	Does anyone here keep them? I would like to try, but I have never been able to find them in ANY LFS near me. When I ask if they ever get them the answer is always they don't carry them. Any ideas???? http://www.fishprofiles.com/site/aquarank.aspx

I've looked and asked around here and have gotten the same response. Check out the site below. According to them, most Killie activity is done through egg trading and direct interactions with breeders. My area actually has an active Killie club and they have an annual show and auction. They look like really cool fish and their colors can be amazing. http://aka.org/modules/tinycontent3/ Last edited by renoharps at 09-Sep-2005 06:00

All the ones they have are full adult size so they may only live a few months , and if you have no luck breeding them it does seem a waste- especially if you set up a tank specifically for them.

BM Fish Master Posts: 1436 Kudos: 239 Votes: 127 Registered: 24-Aug-2000	I have considered getting eggs , as well. I will probably have to go mailorder. Does anyone know of a good source? Thanks http://www.fishprofiles.com/site/aquarank.aspx

The best thing, is to buy some eggs from Aquabid & then try to breed them yourself. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
