Unfortunately, I beleive the species has gone to the fisheaven, over the time I did get eggs from another three or four specieses. When I was active, I had more than ten different speices, but the slam I got back then, did stop my interest in keeping killies, some memberes of the NZKA even surgested at the time I should resign from NZKA, and you know those members did get both eggs and fish from me.

Oh, btw I never made one dollar from the eggs, I have never been in the business of selling eggs for profit, I did it purely for the sake of supporting the NZKA.

I was send eggs from my friends in Denmark and Sweden, amongst them were Austrolibias Nigripinnisis they had been in NZ previously, but was not looked after and the species was lost, I did it to resettable them, the rest is history!

I would not recommend anyone get eggs send from oversess in envelopes it cost me $7000.00 to import new killis eggs into NZ

It is illegal, because it is for members only of the NZKA

It would be fun! Unfortunately it is not legal

You could not have been looking!!!

You are so right, I offered my entire fish room with some 30 tanks to members, and will you believe it, not one came forward, so the lot went to the dump, because I had sold my house to move into an apartment. In my fish keeping time, I bread heaps of fish and offered them to members for next to nothing. I do hope as before mentioned, that someone will take over, I for my part is no longer interested.

I agree with you, let someone take over running the NZKA I will be happy to hand over the accounts to someone interested, we are in my view, a very healthy organisation.

Sorry, this is the address for the Windeløv. http://www.tropica.com/plants/plantdesc ... x?pid=008B

I am not sure how you have planted the Windeløv, but it does not like to have the roots buried in the substrate. Have a look at the Tropica site, Windeløv is one of the owner of Tropica in Denmark. http://www.tropica.com/plants/plantdesc ... px?pid=008

You can contact me, in the event you want to join the NZKA

Looks very nice Sophia, it would be the best Killi aqurium I have seen, good job!

I am sorry Herman did not make the Napier Show, but has departed to The Killi Heaven

Very good Barrie, I never thought that was how they came to the puddle!!!!

Yes they are also very nice people as well, I have personal contact with them.

No, I have never water incubated, I always dried the peat and stored it in the fish room in temperatur 25C

The storing temperature (incubation) for the eggs also have influence on the hatching time.

My advice to you out there, The Seller "Leave him alone" if you are not sure what he is selling.

Cam The NZKA membership will only cost you $15.00 per year, if you are a member of a club paying your FNZAS capitation fee which is $10.00 per year. In the event you need further details or information, please feel free to contact me.

You are right Barrie, people interested in keeping Killies, should join the NZKA to receive fish from members of NZKA

I will be entering several bags of peat for the auction

Hi jc360, In this outside container I have 4 males and 10 females approxmately, soon there will be another 3 pairs from my fish room. I raise the fry in a plastic container 150mm X 300mm X 100mm high, and I always use an oxygen tablet in with them for the first month or so, this is to avoid "belly sliders" I was told to do so by a freind in Denmark. I then transfer them to a similar container without the peat, again the oxygen tablet and a couple of snails, the snails will eat any left over food. The fry will take Brine Shrimp from the beginning, but I always give them green water the first week, just to make sure the smalest fry get food. Hope this helps.

Thank you Barrie for posting the photo! I do not catch them, they stay there with 2 clay pots, one in each end, all year round. When I do have to ctch them for some reason, I just take out the Water Lillys. Cheers, EJ

TM is right, I have not done the trick with the Micro Worms myself, but I can remember Alan Wakelin did this many a time.
