Description

You are bidding on 25+ hand-picked fertilized eggs of amazing and rare Brazilian annual killifish - Hypsolebias delucai �Urucuia� (Terra Typica). The original fish have been collected from a temporary pool near Urucuia in the floodplains of Rio Urucuia (Rio S�o Francisco basin), state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

For breeding purposes the aquarium size should be at least 10 � 15 litres for a pair or trio (1 male and 2 females). It is recommended using a small, air-driven sponge filter to prevent water stagnation. Water should be soft with a pH of around 6.5 � 7.0 and a temperature of 22�C - 23�C. The aquarium can be unlit or moderately illuminated. This fish is not aggressive, although there might be an occasional aggressive male that might need to be separated from the group. The fish should be conditioned on a varied diet of live food. Hypsolebias delucai is a substrate diver when spawning. The layer of peat needs to be at least 3 � 4 cm or even deeper if you want the fish to feel comfortable while spawning. Peat moss is the preferred medium but any other suitable type of spawning substrate can be used.

The approximate eggs incubation period is 5 - 8 months if incubated at 24�C - 25�C. Do not be tempted to hatch the eggs early, as this can impair the development of the fry. If the eggs fail to hatch, place the peat back into storage for another 2 - 4 weeks. Repeat this until you get a hatch. Only wet well eyed-up eggs.

The fry are tiny and initial food should be Infusoria. After 3 � 4 days they can be fed Microworm and BBS with the introduction of larger varieties after 2 weeks or so. Extreme care must be taken regarding water quality in the raising tank or container. The fry should be fed twice a day with small water changes every 2 - 3 days for the best growth. The water must initially be kept very shallow but the level can be raised as the fry grow. Hypsolebias delucai can be sexed out in about 5 to 6 weeks, and ready to breed at 8 � 9 weeks. This species can be easily bred and maintained as long as you act in accordance with all the recommendations.

The eggs are posted in a peat moss or coir enclosed in a plastic bag which is placed in a padded bubble envelope. Unfortunately I can't guarantee the hatching, hatch rate, sex ratio, etc. The storage conditions during transportation are out of my control. Please make sure before bidding that the temperature is not too cold at your area. Important: I don't refund money or re-send another pack of eggs if the package is lost in the post, seized by customs of your country, the eggs are dissolved in peat moss for whatever reason, or you did something wrong and couldn't manage to hatch the fry. Please check the eggs on arrival so that if they dissolve later due to wrong incubation conditions or any other reason, you don't tell me that there were no eggs. It's not my responsibility, you deal with Mother Nature! Please read appropriate literature, study various Internet sources dedicated to killifishes before ordering the eggs. Apart from all other things I am a very busy person and I can�t physically give instructions to everyone on how to hatch, keep and breed killifishes. Ordering eggs from me you completely agree with all my statements mentioned above. I hope on your understanding. The eggs are sent from Glasgow (Scotland). All prices are listed in British Pounds (GBP). Delivery within the UK is 3.00 GBP, Europe - 7.00 GBP, other countries - 8.00 GBP. Thanks for looking, happy bidding and enjoy your hobby!
