Description

IMPORTANT: I ship to the address provided in your payment. If paying by paypal, please, please make sure that shipping address is correct before clicking the send button. Shipping days get hectic, and it's easy to miss requests to ship elsewhere. Thanks...

25+ hand-picked eggs of this super active, schooling killifish, shipped in water. My incubation time has been about 14 days, and hatch rate has been about 75%, but shipping may affect that.

This is a very beautiful strain of one of the more unusual killifish that inhabits rocky areas in Lake Tanganyika. They prefer hard, alkaline water; I keep them over aragonite gravel. Picture is of a male from the parent generation. Females, as usual, have very little coloration or markings.

Hatching: I usually just leave eggs in water with a small amount of methylene blue to help keep fungus from spreading. I check them every day or two to watch development, and remove any dead/fungused eggs. Eggs hatch without any help about 14 days from pick date.

Feeding: Tanganicanus fry are comparatively large, and can easily consume newly hatched brine shrimp immediately. As they grow, they will accept most frozen "meaty" foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and mysis, and will also thrive on flake and small pellets. They of course relish live brine shrimp and blackworms as well. Fry must be handled carefully when moving, to avoid bent spines or losses from shock. Adults don't like to be moved or handled at all, and are notorious for simply perishing after being transferred or shipped. So, plan ahead, and get them to their new home while they are still flexible about relocating.

Shipping: I ship to US only; shipping may need to be coordinated around weather and postal holidays. PLEASE NOTE: since tanganicanus eggs have such a short incubation time, I can't have a backstock like I often do with annual killifish eggs. Eggs probably won't be picked until your purchase, and if the fish are not "in the mood", there might be a week or two wait before shipping. Please include $8.00 for priority mail. 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.
