Nothobranchius furzeri MZCS2010/24. 40+ hand-picked eggs of this beautiful killifish, packed in peat. Since these are packed immediately after collection, there will be some eggs that don't develop, but you should hatch out a dozen or more when the time comes (anywhere from 3 to 5 months from pick date, depending primarily on storage temperature). My experience has been a handful of fry each wetting from 3-8 months.

Pictured is an adult, the "dad" of these eggs. Females, as usual, have very little coloration or markings. In previous generations, some males are of the yellow-tailed variety.

This is a very "annual" killifish, designed to grow and mature rapidly, so they can lay eggs before their pond or puddle dries up. As such, they are expected to be very short-lived - possibly among the shortest lifespans of any vertebrate on the planet. My personal experience has been that they'll start spawning at 6 weeks, grow and look great for another 10 weeks, then begin the quick decline into old age. I don't know that I've had one make it to 6 months, but like flowers in the garden, their limited appearance makes them that much more attractive.

Fry are small, but can usually accept newly hatched brine shimp immediately after hatching. I also usually add a bit of java moss to the hatching container to theoretically provide a continuous source of infusoria. As they grow, they will accept most frozen "meaty" foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and mysis, and will even accept some flake and small pellets. They of course relish live brine shrimp and blackworms as well.

Shipping: I ship to US only; shipping may need to be coordinated around weather and postal holidays. During mild weather, eggs usually ship the weekday after payment clears. During the winter cold or summer heat, eggs usually ship the Monday after payment clears to reduce risk of spending a weekend parked outside some postal sorting station.

Shipping (pick one):
First Class (no heat pack) $2
Priority Mail (no heat pack) $6

Multiple egg purchases can be shipped together for no additional postage.

Payment: please pay by money order or paypal within 3 days of purchase. The email address that Aquabid provides in the winning bidder notice is my paypal address, so if you know your total, feel free to pay before contacting me. Otherwise, I usually send out an email within a day of auction end. If you prefer to pay by money order, the Aquabid address is again correct; please let me know when money order is in the mail. I am often looking to clear tanks to make room for the next hatch, so prompt payment is always appreciated.
