MrEd Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Did you read the link Caryl? It just mentioned them as "Potential Pests" and my comment was based on that link, though that admitingly was probably in warmer waters! Sorry to get your heckels up! 6 months ago I was given 8 and I now have more than 50 (and I'm not counting them) which seems like fairly quick breeding considering half were males.

wilson Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 does anyone have some down this way i would realy like to have some in my coldwater wcmm tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carla Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 6 months ago I was given 8 and I now have more than 50 (and I'm not counting them) which seems like fairly quick breeding considering half were males. So out of 4 females came 50 babies in 6 months? That is 2 babies per female per month. Not fast - as I said :lol: And wilson - I would not recommend these with WCMM. Every single baby will be hunted down and eaten by the monsters! They are fairly slow when small and I think that is why they have so few surviving babies.

wilson Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 any other cold water fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 My hackles weren't up at all Mr Ed, I was just confused. Can't imagine them becoming a pest as they are not vicious like gambusia. I have never known them to particularly eat their fry either - mine never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Leopardfish/Jordanella for sale! Carla has some fish for sale in the North islan. ($6 for Jordanella and I think $4 for leopardfish) I'm looking to combine an order to ship to chch to split shipping costs. Anyone out there from chch prepared to place an order please see the link below for details. http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewto ... 196#236196 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 PS: Wilson I was told that jordanellas would be fine with my WCMM's and they're good at eating algae too.. that's what I want them for! I'm not concerned about whether they breed or not...if you wanted to increase your chances of breeding them you could always temporarily separate some out when the time was right.

alextret Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 What is Jordanella? Is it a gold fish variety or a separate species? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Jordanella floridae are a killifish. Whatelse?? :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextret Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 >Jordanella floridae are a killifish. I see. I guess, they are not cold water, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I've read on several different sites that Jordanellas can handle fairly low temps. Some report down to 8 degrees but most seem to say around 16 (which means that indoors are probably pretty safe without a heater) These fish can be found naturally in some parts of florida, where they can get some decent winter cold spells. They can be found elsewhere as well but I didn't commit those bits to memory :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Some killies are quite capable of standing a winter outside at Wellington. Ask Casserole. J/F come under that banner too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Got some Leopards today at Jansens glenfield. $23 for ten with the Wednesday discount.
