That's such a bummer! =( My male has been super aggressive with my female for about a month and a half. & since your post started, they've bred only once. They made it to the free swimming stage finally and then bam gone. I finally thought I was going to be successful! =( hopefully you can find...

That's the same type that the golden wonder killifish are too, huh? They had some of those in the store as well, and they cost the same. They looked somewhat similar (well identical as far as I can remember in body). Their coloration is just different, mainly the striping. Thanks for the help...

I vanished off the forums for a while (& got extremely discouraged after my GBRs up and decided they just didn't want to breed for several months...) so I'm really curious, what happened with your GBRs? Did they breed successfully? Any luck since? What's going on with them? =)

Here's a clearer picture of one of them:

I just got some new Killifish but I'm not sure what type they are! (And neither were the guys at the LFS, since the guy who ordered them wasn't currently in) Any ideas? The internet isn't proving very helpful!

Glad to hear you're having luck again! I haven't been on much lately. Mine haven't laid eggs since November 20th. They were laying every 4-8 days and then just stopped suddenly after like 4 batches. =( but I hope you have better luck this time!!

Good to know from you, too! I've lowered my tank a little (had it high to treat ich) & now it seems like their breeding is longer between instances! But I'm wondering if perhaps the high temperatures were what was causing them to eat their babies... But 82 degrees isn't high, and you're having...

It's like a dragonfly. Once it leaves the nymph phase, it'll no longer be aquatic.

Color reminds of dragon fly / larva I would always see at the river.

What temperature was your tank at, out of curiosity?

Including shipping & tax & fees I got it for about $23. It was $18.99 with $2.99 shipping I believe. There are free returns according to the site.

Hmm I could put a bubbler in there. There is a lot of natural light in the space, but also a light about six inches above I could turn on if need be as well. Thanks for the input!

That's such a bummer! Hopefully they start protecting them better and the others make it!

So I got this BioBubble WonderBubble through groupon & I'm pretty excited, but I seriously have no clue what to expect. It says the size is 11 x 11 x 15 in but then some of the pictures just show the top portion. When I go to the actual BioBubble website I get more info, but still not enough...

We've used all sorts of rocks we've found, including some that were concrete stones (that washed ashore on the beach!) & they are quite awesome. They definitely have character, and we made sure there wasn't anything on them that could affect the fish or anything. My brother did put like a...

Do you remember if it was due to the size? (Which I totally get) or due to the actual structure? (Like it leaked or wasn't secure or hard to clean or etc)

Probably a lot. I don't know why places insist on advertising with goldfish. Or trying to make it look like tetras or something could go into little 1 gallon tanks. It's crazy! There were people at Petsmart the other day who were looking at a 2.5 gallon tank & were like "what are these fish in...

1.5 gallons sounds about right. & yeah, not good for any fish. I was just thinking of maybe putting a couple cherry shrimp and a plant in it. I couldn't wrap my head around the size though, so that may work!

So my friend just sent me this link, and naturally I'm in love. I love smaller tanks, and have a 5.5G blue shrimp tank set up currently. (Along with my 20G & other tanks throughout the house) So I was excited to see this and the thought of a tank at work with perhaps some cherry shrimp. But...

It may be the bottle of wine I just had, but I love you for this! Ha ha that's too funny!

Yay yay!

I'm pretty sure they were eaten. Almost positive.

I bet you it was the store that had something then. One of our good LFS has been giving us a lot of issues lately, and it's always a bummer when that happens. So even though you got what appeared to be a healthy fish, maybe she just wasn't, & it wasn't even anything you did. Oh, and the...

Made it to two mornings, and then just gone. =( looks like maybe the fourth time will be the charm? Hopefully?

I think you did everything right with the setup. Using all the gravel, the filter bags, etc would all make that tank good enough for them in my opinion. The higher heat definitely could put an impact on the breathing, so an air stone could help with that. I question mostly the decorations...
