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 hardy, classic killifish, shipped in water. A very pretty strain; males get jet black, coverred with blue-white sparkles. Picture is of a male from a previous generation. Females, as usual, have very little coloration or markings.

Mento prefer harder water, so they do well in tanks where a lot of other killies languish. Mine are in moderately hard water, ph about 7.6, tablespoon per five gallons of non-iodized salt. They are not particularly temperature sensitive; I keep mine at room temperature, ranging from upper 60s to upper 70s.

Hatching: I usually just leave eggs in water with a small amount of methylene blue or acriflavine 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 10 days from pick date.

Feeding: Mento 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 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. PLEASE NOTE: since mento 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.
