Killifish Breeding

[Davies97]

Could anyone tell me how hard it is to breed Killifish and what equipment you need because I'm thinking of getting some

Not an expert but I did look into it a little. Google is a good source btw. It's a process to hatch them and I believe the breeding part is easy and left up to the fish. As for getting the eggs to hatch you have to remove them and put them in some sort of soil mix(again google can help) and letting them dry out. After a while being dry you slowly wet them to hatch them. I don't think this applies to all killis only certain types.

Visit AKA.org (American Killifish Association), they have really good articles on how to breed the various species.

I had aphyosemion australe for two years and didn't get one spawning out of them..... even the experts say they have the same results at times.
