Description

I sell eggs of this species to promote the keeping of killifish in the home aquarium. I hope you enjoy this wonderful tropical fish.

30+ hand picked eggs of Aphyosemion striatum GEBL CG 07/61 in about 20-30 grams of moist peat shipped in a 24 x 18 x 2 cm envelope. As you can see from the photographs this stain of A. striatum is extremely colorful. This is an excellent beginner's killkifish. Eggs are examined daily during the collection process for any unfertilized ones. Unfertilized eggs are removed from the peat and replaced with a new one. Peat and freshly picked eggs are placed in a double zip-lock bag and the bag is wrapped in several layers of paper towel. Eggs will normally ship 2 to 3 days after the bid ends and the buyer will be notified by email when shipment occurs.

Incubation of eggs takes about 12 to 18 days. 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 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 10 - 12 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 (TDS 225-275 ppm) with a temperature of about 21-24 degrees C and pH of about 7.8-8.1. 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.

Aphyosemion striatum are naturally from the coastal areas of fom Equatorial Guinea (Mitemele River drainage basin) to northwestern Gabon (Mbei, Komo, Gabon, Abanga and lower Ogowe River drainage basins), in western Africa. This species of killifish has been kept by tropical fish hobbyists for more than 40 years. Many different aquarium breed and location strains of this killifish exist in the hobby including Andem, Cabo San Juan, Cap Est�rias, Coco Beach, Kingu�l�, Kouame, Lambar�n�, Libreville, Macoura, Moyko GJS 00/32, Ndjole, Ntoum, Ongam - BDBG 04/26, G 92/3, GBG 93/35, GBL 85/6 Cap Est�rias, GEMHS 00/33, GEMHS 00/34, GWW 86/1, LEC 93/24 Cap Est�rias, LEC 93/29, BBW 00/26, and GEBLCG 07/61.

SHIPPING INFORMATION - VERY IMPORTANT

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). For the United States air mail shipping and packaging costs are $7.00 (about 5-8 business days in transit). For the United Kingdom air mail shipping and packaging costs are $10.00 (about 5-8 business days in transit). I will guarantee live delivery of eggs and the hatching of at least 25% of the eggs to buyers in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. I do not guarantee that the fish will survive beyond hatching, that responsibility is the buyer's! Eggs will be resent as soon as they are available from the spawning fish.

This includes the following countries: France, Belguim, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Germany. Air mail shipping and packaging costs are $10.00 (about 8-12 business days in transit). For these international locations, I can only guarantee delivery of the envelope. There is no guarantee that the eggs will be viable. Sorry too many things can go wrong with International shipments to other countries.
