Nothobranchius furzeri 2008
Running a fishroom can be time consuming, and sometimes there just isn’t enough time. I had quite a lot of eggs of Nothobranchius furzeri from last autumn 2007 , and i’d been keeping them cool (fishroom floor, 20 degrees C) because I knew I wouldn’t have time to raise them until July 2008. I had [...]
Austrofundulus guajira
Austrofundulus species don’t come up too often, even at dedicated killifish auctions – so I was pleasantly surprised to purchase a pair at the 2007 BKA convention. Like many South American annuals, they are generally brown fish, but with some very subtle irredescent colours too. The tail of the male flashes between yellow and blue – getting [...]
Nothobranchius sp. Messalo River MZHL 05-12
I initially bought a pair and a trio of Nothobranchius sp. Messalo River MZHL 05-12 from the BKA convention in October 2006 - they were were not small fish, but despite their size, had practically no colouration in the BKA show tanks (see picture, right) . Once set up at home, in a darkish tank with [...]
Fundulopanchax sjoestedti ?Niger Delta?
I wasn’t planning on buying any fish at the members auction of the BKA 2007 convention - I was saving myself for the show auction the next day – but then a fish I didn’t spot earlier on came up, and what a magnificent pair. Fundulopanchax sjoestedti ‘Niger Delta’, starting price £10 – right across the room flashes [...]
Nothobranchius furzeri
Its hard to say what your favourite killifish species are… but in my top 5 would have to be Nothobranchius furzeri; i’ve been keeping the Gona-Re-Zhou furzeri on and off for some time now, a long with other Mozambique collections since they became available in 1999. And what an interesting animal. Furzeri actually holds the record [...]
BKA convention 2007
It’s amazing how much you can forget in a year. Having just returned from the 2007 BKA convention (British Killifish Association), and having downloaded all my fish images from the camera, I thought i’d have a look at last years pictures. Some surprises for sure. Like I say, it’s amazing how much you can forget in [...]
