Fundulus Chrysotus

Golden Ear Killie Fish. I go 2 pairs of these to go in a 29 with 6 sunfish fry and some dwarf crayfish. Any advice would be welcome.

Well seeing nobody responded looks like the education piece falls in my lap.

I received the fish from a good source on Aquabid-That Magic Guy (Bill) and he sent an extra pair. I'm usually leery of wild caught fish as some can have a hard time adapting and most just want live food. I started them on fresh hatch brine shrimp and got them to lake some large golden pearls within a few days. In less than a week they began feeding on flake food so they get a bit of everything now.

I f you have never checked these out you really should. They have great color, aren't afraid and easy to maintain. They are a mop spawner so I'll likely give them a try this spring.

If you have a regional Killifish Club somewhere around your parts they would be a great help. You can check wth the AKA.org.

Let me know if you get some nice Pygmy Sunfish fry.
