So this week I have started a new adventure. Killifish.

I was kind enough to recieve a group of these from a friend who was clearing out some tanks, turns out the 4 that were promised turned to 8 since they had some babies in the meantime. So I have a few youngsters to raise too, challenge accepted!

Will let the pictures do the talking!

This tank isn't permanent. Will be setting up a different 60l lower down on the shelf, when summer comes they need it cool, and I will hopefully do some sort of biotope theme!
 
Hello; Good for you. Those fish are ones I never got around to but always wanted to. Are those native to Africa?

Yes they are :)
These are a captive bred strain, so no idea exactly where they originated from
 
Thanks all. Unfortunately the gold female passed away, but the others may carry the gold gene. Fingers crossed!
 
Update time!

First I recieved some otocinclus catfish yesterday. Lovely and diligent little cleaners to say the least!IMG_20180902_191206.jpg

But more importantly! My first home grown fry is here! I'm so happy, just noticed the fella tonight :D
