Caryl Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I plan now to get a triangular aquarium in the bathroom. With the 2 right angle back sides being 480mm and the height 350mm I calculate a volume of 40L, give or take a bit. I am trying to decide what small, colourful, fish to stock it with. Was initially thinking guppies (gone off the fighter idea) but am now wondering whether this would be suitable for killies. If so, which mop spawners are the most colourful? I think I would prefer mop spawners to the peat layers. I have had A scheeli in the past. The gardneri looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Striatum are nice - I would offer you some but I only have little wee ones at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 what length do you want? that too can make a difference Gardneri P82? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 OHHHHHH having a tank in the bathroom is such a fantastic idea :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Length of fish? I don't care as long as they fit the tank and are easy to see 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 if thats the case, why not King Killis? large enough so that you can see them at a glance full of energy in a majistic way unlikely to breed (of more likely to eat their young) Will live to be several years old (mine are over 3 years at the moment) colours that only an artist could think of Patterns that the great surrealist Van Gough could have ever drempt up Plus the most fasinating thing is that they smile at you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Sounds interesting Barrie. What is their scientific name so I can see some pics? Does anyone have some for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Fundulopanchax sjoestedti Caserol is the best breeder of these here in NZ I belive Have a serious look at the directions of the markings and you will see what I mean about Van Gough. No God of any type could design markings like those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Sounds like I need to call caserole and see what colour he has :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 We only have one colour in nz, so there is not much choice! This is Barrie's monster - not a very good photo of it, either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 that was the big fish in napier that i wanted! they jump eh? so no good in my tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 it is He has lived for 3 1/2 years without a lid Over the last 12 months, he has had a lid for half that time Hes almost fully grown now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 they jump eh? NOT ALL KILLIS JUMP its been said many times as has the fact that not all killis are short lived Most peat spawners from Africa are annual and as such can still live to 18 months old.

alanmin4304 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Wok is the antijumping fish trainer if you need assistance with training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 He doesn't actually train them. He merely leaves the dead, dried up, bodies of previous jumpers lying in front of the tank where the others can see them and hopefully learn from their mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
