ajbroome Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Folks, So, I've re-joined the NZKA and am in the market for some fish. Does anyone have spare F. sjoestedti, F. gardneri, A. striatum, Cyno (Aust). nigripinnis or C. whitei available to a fairly experienced fishkeeper and long time killifish person? If anyone is in Palmerston North then that'd be even better, regardless of the species... Andrew, NZKA 143. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajbroome Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hmmm.... Some difference in NZKA numbers. Must look in to that. Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hi AJ I have some young striatum available. Sjoestedti are becoming a rare item in the country at the moment, with only two members currently holding a few each, same with nigripinnis. I will send you our current newsletter that gives further details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I have just given up on trying to hatch nigs from two different sources so sorry, can't help there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajbroome Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Alan, Are there eggs in the peat? Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Ive emailed you Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 There was supposed to be. One was over a year old and the other was second unsuccessful attempt. Would have been nice but no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajbroome Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Alan, You should be able to see eggs if they're present. C. nigripinnis eggs are *not* tiny. Bigger than most Notho eggs (and HUGE compared to N. janpapi or Epi. annulatus for eggsample). Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 problem with south American annuals is the the egg cover (the egg itself) is slightly sticky and is often hard to see as the peat will stick to it far more than African annuals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajbroome Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Barrie, True but it's very do-able with a bit of practice. Especially with some of the bigger eggs. Cyno. constanciae eggs are more like Notho eggs though. Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I have sifted through the peat and found eggs when none were able to be seen (may also be my old eyes though) I take it you recieved my email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajbroome Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Barrie, > I take it you recieved my email? Yep, replying to it as we speak, along with 100 other things I'm trying to get done. Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajbroome Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Folks (Zev), I could be convinced to try some P. normani or Ps. annulatus at a pinch (and would be very keen to try some Ap. striatum if you have any to spare)... ;-) Andrew.

Zev Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 You will have to try Barrie for some annulatus - I have mainly males. The Normani I will have to sort out, but have promised some to someone else - will see what emerges from the next batch of fry. Striatums I can spare.

ajbroome Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Zev, > You will have to try Barrie for some annulatus - I have mainly males. I'm talking to Barrie. I've bred many Ps. annulatus in the past although I'd be more keen to leave them to others at the moment since I'm not really set up for such tiny fry. You probably already know but I always found Riccia to be this species best friend. > The Normani I will have to sort out, but have promised some to someone else > - will see what emerges from the next batch of fry. Another species that I've had and distributed in the past. There may still be an online article out there that I wrote a long time ago... I'd be keen on some fish if you can spare some at some stage. > Striatums I can spare. I'm definitely keen on getting some of these. Should we leave it until after conference and work something out after that? I'm very flexible. Thanks, Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Does the quote function not work on your browser? In a week or so i may have some hygrophillia polysperma, and polysperma var. rosanvig you can have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I just prefer the other way > In a week or so i may have some hygrophillia polysperma, and polysperma var. rosanvig you can have. That'd be great, thanks. Andrew.
