    My favorite is Nothobranchius kilomberoensis minepa Tan. I once raised them by the hundreds.

    john.. you weren't kidding about this show!! wow.. if you want to get into killifish.. this is the place!! i think i got the most expensive fish of the show. at $14 for the pair.. and i got both pairs there there.. * there were only 12 bidders total!!

    fish were going for $3-$10.. !! a person could IMMEDIATELY get into Killifish with this group.. all the plants Art brought.. he gave them away.. i left with some NAJA grass and some Re-Gifted NADA fish foods!!! LOL..

    i will contact art about getting that mail replaced..

    the Blue Gularis.. are HUGE!! and i don't think they are fully grown!!! a Killi that can hit 6" is very IMPRESSIVE!

    Thats a nice blue gularis. By the fin development I would guess it is half grown or a bit less. He is beautiful now but will be spectacular in 4 months or so. I have kept some strains of them for more than 30 years now. They have great personality. For the person who asked about killifish with discus, most will not survive long at discus temperatures. Blue Gularis will and from time to time I have to separate males and put them into discus tanks for a couple of weeks. Discus temperatures will greatly shorten their lifespans, to about a year or so. At 73 F they will live 3 years and sometimes as long as 4. Over this time they will grow much larger than they get at warm temperatures since the warm temps so greatly reduce lifespan.
