Description

60+ hand picked eggs of Albino Fundulopanchax gardneri nigerianus Misaj� in peat.

Incubation of eggs takes about 18 to 24 days. I will send the eggs after a couple days of incubation so I can remove any unfertilized ones. Fry will eat newly hatched brine shrimp or microworms. Having Java Moss in your rearing tank is a good idea because it provides a source of microorganisms (infusoria) for your you fry to eat. I can send you a starter culture of microworms with the eggs for FREE (Canada only).

Extreme care must be taken to maintain water quality in the hatching tank. Fry should be fed twice a day with small water changes twice a week for maximum growth. Growth is relatively fast and your first fish should starting sexing out after about 8 - 10 weeks. Larger fish should be removed from the rearing tank as they can consume smaller fry. These fish take about 4 to 5 months to reach sexual maturity.

This is a fairly hardy killifish that is easy to keep. Parents are in moderately hard water (100 mg/L) with a temperature of about 21-22�C and pH of about 7.8. Parents love to eat live and frozen foods including brine shrimp, bloodworms, and tubiflex worms. They will even eat flake foods. Like most killifish they are great jumpers so keep their tank covered.

This unique subspecies of Fundulopanchax gardneri was originally collected near Misaj�, Nigeria. Several ornimental versions of this fish exist, including an albino type and a yellow phenotype called by hobbyists "gold".

Shipping will be done when spawning is complete and weather permitting - not too cold or too hot for travel. Please contact me for details when your bid wins. Shipping and packaging costs for Canada are regular ground post $4.00 (about 3-6 business days in transit) and Xpress post $19.00 (about 1-3 business days in transit with a tracking number). For the United States shipping and packaging costs are $6.00 (about 5-8 business days in transit). For international locations, like western Europe, shipping and packaging costs are $8.00 (about 6-10 business days in transit). To reduce costs, two auction wins can be combined in one envelope.

Only Paypal payments are accepted.

Eggs are sent from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada (Google Map).

The breeder makes no guarantee that the eggs will hatch as problems can occur during transport and in the hatching process.
