Killies!

[Psyhampster]

I got 2 killies today! I'm not positive what kind, but they are dull in color, and are a type of Fundulopanchax. I'll get pics, and you guys can help ID them.

Happy!

Great find - did you get them at the LFS? Mine never carry them. Post pics soon

 

[Psyhampster]

Yah, they were at the LFS, and there were a couple different kinds. In hindsight, I suppose I should have written down what kind...

 

[Psyhampster]

OK, this is one of the better pics I was able to get. I'll keep trying, and maybe get you a better one later.

[lmw80]

congrats!! Hard to tell from the pic but it *might* be a green panchax or a golden wonder....

 

[Meredith]

Yea! Congrats!

 

[Blucat]

are killies rare or somehting

 

[TankGirl]

They are not rare, and in fact the American Flag-fish is a type of killie. They are just not often seen at your typical LFS and most are traded amongst hobbyists. Many are annual and don't have a lot of appeal to many fishkeepers for that reason, but not all of them are.

 

[Psyhampster]

Well, we lost one of them. I'm not terribly suprised, she(?) didn't look as healthy as the other from the minute I added them to the tank. I've got the remaining one eating flake food, with frozen brine shrimp once or twice a week. I also got more pics.

 

[Psyhampster]

anybody wanna hazard a guess as to what kind it is now that there are more pics?
