Thank you so much, Gillie!

Aaand here's them chillin with the Gardneris. Love it

Here's a pic of the girl! Photos don't do them justice, they both have the most amazing opalescent sheen, it reminds me of that nail polish top coat girls used to love in the 90s. Haha. She wouldn't stretch out and show her fins, but they are quite spotted and decorated! Really cool. She is the...

Hi, Mattfinn! Thank you. I'm so glad I got them, it was between them and the "Red Striped Killi" (Aphyosemion striatum) - they are gorgeous, but I have seen them before at this pet store and online, so I can get them next time. These guys seem a little more unique, and I have never seen them...

Thank you! I'm excited about them! The girl is actually really pretty, too, but she didn't want her picture taken. Haha

Anyone know anything about "Filamentosa Killi"s? I got a pair today, cant find info! I have developed a killi obsession, they are just the cutest fish, they have great personalities! I brought home a pair of Filamentosa killis today ("Aphyosemion filamentosa" is their scientific name). Because...

Mine did the same thing! The Peacock gudgeons look a lot like female killis, so I think he is just confused. Mine did that for the first couple days I added the gudgeon , then left it alone once he realized they couldn't breed. So cute and strange.

Here is my sweet couple! So hard to get a good pic. I'm loving killies! I am new to them but I already want more.

Thanks guys! I do love blue, especially since I have black substrate and lots of green plants. I already have Purple Harlequin Rasboras as my schooling fish...they are middle swimmers but not really tight schoolers. Saw some cool green ones I liked, too, but I'd rather have a larger, slower fish...

Beautiful! I will try and get a pic of my guy. I've only had mine a couple weeks but I am loving them, so much fun to watch! The annuals like Rachiovii are gorgeous too, but I am going to try my hand at breeding these before getting into all of that.

Thanks guys, I had actually been looking at a pair of the Electric Blue Rams, but at the fish store they were hanging near the bottom. I think I will do some research on them, I know a lot of people love them.

I am looking for something colorful and interesting to occupy the middle level of my tank. I have a couple small but fast endlers, 5 Purple Harlequin Rasboras, one Peacock Gudgeon (might pick up another, but they are small anyway), and 5 Crystal Red Shrimp. I got a Lyretail Killifish thinking he...

My pair of Gardneri killifish...they are the most interesting fish I've ever kept, the male is like an overbearing, slightly abusive, but totally lovestruck boyfriend. I love watching them!

Haha, thanks guys. I figured, but just wanted to make sure. He seems to have lost some interest in the gudgeon. Maybe I will try to find him a girlfriend, I hear their colors are best when a female is around, anyway. I know my Gardneri boy has amazing colors, can't wait til these eggs hatch!

Hi! I have a happy, healthy 20 gallon planted tank that includes a single male Aphyosemion Australe (Lyretail Killi), Ivan, along with a few schooling fish and snails and shrimp. Today I brought home some more Crystal Red shrimp and a Peacock Gudgeon, I am not sure the gender. Ivan LOVES it! He...
