Alan Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Hey Eon, and people wonder what is the attraction of keeping killies. Yahoo, not bad for a brand new member to the NZKA. Good one mate. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eon Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 i have no idea why more people do not keep killies , they are some of the most pretty of freshwater fish are not hard to keep and pretty easy to breed sofar and from what i hear, the only thing is the lifespan wich can be pretty short (but then again so easy to breed) i reckon more people should get into killies not and be shy about keeping them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_man Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 i think most people would keep them but the hard parts trying to get any... I know i found it almost imposible to get any i've been after them for age's and only just found a pair today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Eon, I think the reason more people don't enjoy the hobby as we do, is the availability of the little critters. When you can find them in the shops, the prices are up to $72 for a trio, one male and two females. BUT If you just happen to know an NZKA member, and join their group, the fish are sold for $5 each, or even less. Some times they are gifted. Also for the more adventurious amongst us, eggs are avaiable, the last I heard at $10 for 20 plus eggs. But I have heard of eggs going on T/M for $2.00 each, believe it or not. How easy can it be? Add water, start feeding fish, way-ta-go. Alan 104 ps. how do I know? V V V V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Had a look at that pic of yours too. Doesn't look like a pair IMHO. Might have two boys there. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
