caserole Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 don't pay attention to the colour at that size. How old are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 The oldest would be just over 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 :lol: 2 WEEKS Mate, give them a chance. They are not the fastest killies( that's the annual species), if you keep the feeding up and keep the water sweet they should be sexing out by 1.5 months.

Guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I've been looking closely and some of the bigger ones have a light brown strip on some of their anal fins and then it's got yellowish colour on their top fin, anal fin and a bit on their tail. Does temp decide what sex they are as think I have mostly male and I was hoping for mostly females. Also they're getting 3-4 feedings of frozen bbs and sometimes live bbs and I'm trying to get them on very very fine flake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Temp can for some killi species but I have never experienced it with australe. What temp are they by the way? Ideal temp is around 21C. As for feeding that sounds fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 They're in about 25-27 at the moment as that was the tempo that most the eggs were hatched at. Is that too hot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Better at 22-23 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Does that make them grow faster or are they happier at that temp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 They come from areas close to the sea = cooler temps prefered. It's a catch 22 question with temp and growth. If they are hatched at hotter they may hatch quicker, but the fry will burn more energy just staying alive rather then transferring that energy in to growth, so will they grow faster at lower temps not necessary but you will get more growth with less food.
