IOU1 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Awesome pic. I can never take good pictures of tanks and fish Great colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaNut Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Yes Alan that is your fish. I lost the other male the other day but I have fry from them so I cant wait to see a dozen males like him swimming around a tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 It would be good Tim if you could get a pic of one from those ppl that live east Auck area. They got them in Rotorua before I got mine, and they may be from a different area. See what you can do please. They can be ID'd from their colour markings apparently.

Wok Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Very nice Striatum Tim. Now all you have to do is give them to me and I will train them not to jump :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Beautiful mate... stunning fish. Just one suggestion is a slightly brighter light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I had them in a previous life and the shops didn't want to buy them because in their display tanks with strong light they wanted to hide in a corner and fade the colour right out. Do you find that or are these a little more sociable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Silly LFS not making provisions for killies :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 They would Luke, but for some reason, those (Rotorua) that do get them, seem to loose them almost as soon as they come in. Also the cost of them from the wholesalers is close to $18.00, maybe our LFA members can tell us what they'd sell for at that cost. Remember that that does not include GST either. So they are over $40 in the shop. Well the best ones are. There just is not enough breeders producing enough for the shops. Members seem to be able to make more thru TradeMe. It would be very interesting to know how many NZKA members are breeding and what species they are doing. Very few reply to questioners put out by the club so as statistics can be worked out on these things. From what I can recall we had only 5 replies from 40 members at the last census in April. One of the had none, but at least it was a reply. So the moral of the story is to find a member that is breeding, obtain some fish, and join the few that are breeding.

SO WHO ELSE IS BREEDING KILLIES AND IF SO WHAT? Cheers AQUANUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PENEJANE Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I would love to get a pair of killies and if everyone is sure that they can go with my guppies and swords (breeders) with out any issues then that would be awesome. I have more tanks sitting about empty but they are staying that way untill we move house. I am interested in the following if possible. Please email me prices if you have any spare. bitaeniatum gardneri albino gold gardneri striatum gardneri P82 Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
