Alan Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 All the killies are from the T/C family Shae. What about the King killies, they are BIG eaters too. A. sjoestedti. A gardneri P-82's should be on the market for NZKA members soon. Also hopefully the C. bitaeniatum - Lagos, as well Good list you got up there tho. Corrected your Dageti spelling, may have just been a typo tho. Australe, bitaeniatum, normani and annulatus would be fine with guppies, but I still think that they'd peg the baby guppies, well the mum and dad guppies do anyway.

kylefish02 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 sorry but who has annulatus in nz Alan?? kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I have seen them pop up quite often in LFS Shae, and they'd be the cheapest killi on the market at only $6.00. So my suspicions on that price tells me someone in NZ MUST be breeding them for that. I don't think they'd come thru Q at that price.

kylefish02 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I know an importer had them for 2.95 last year.But havnt seen any since?? kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PENEJANE Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Well as I said I am not too worried about the baby guppies as I do my hardest to get the mum before she drops into a breeding trap. So how much would it cost for some eggs (shipment included)? Is there a site that has pictures with the names as I would like some colourful ones if possible. The only other fish that is in the tank with the guppies are a male and female bristlenose (plus one baby that I can never catch!!)

livebearer_breeder Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Bigger Killies such as the SJD MUST have copious amounts of Live Food. Cheers Alan, I will change the spelling on my list. Annulatus are my favourtie killie but i have never managed to get any. Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Argh too much jargon, what is T/C Alan? And i always hear about this SJD but see no reference to it in your list of killies Shae, what is the full name? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Fourth from the top of his list Luke. The AKA use that as the fish on their badge the same as we use the A. australe. T/C = Tooth carp. I think until recently when Caserole got some SJD's, Logan Fow was the last to breed them in NZ. and I was the last to have one. After Caserole got the fish and got stuck into them with his secret food recipe that he has, they have become available to members then to shops in Auck., selling for $50 or more, and in the club, you may be lucky to pick up a nice pair for $20. Some of our breeders may have eggs for sale. But what they charge I have no idea. Non club members I would think should count themselves lucky tho if they got them at $10.00 for 10 eggs, plus p/p Alan NZKA 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Luke , T/C = toothcarp = killifish. EDIT. MUST BE CAREFUL. Killifish are "egg laying toothcarp" other "toothcarp" are :lol: guppys SJD is incorrect started by Alan, then I :oops: , it should be SJO = king killi = blue gularis = Fundulopanchax sjoestedti. I do have "1" 3cm to 4cm pair left. the large spawning I did earlier in the year are now starting to produce fertile eggs but don't know if anybody has eggs to spare yet.

Alan Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Hey all, Just wondering what was available in the way of killies in the wellington area, would like to expand on our starting point of Gold Lineatus. Would take donations, but also willing to pay a reasonable price for them. And yes Alan, I will look into the NZKA, ONCE I have a few more, need to get some space sorted for them. So really just seeing who has what, and which ones they would be willing to part with some of. B I think that the topic has been covered very well actually. But it is slowly sliding into different realms. Reminds me of a chatroom discussion. So. Any more killi questions. Not refering to the above quote, please start another thread. Thanks Mystic Alan NZKA 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
