Killifish Annuali / N.kafuensis Lukanga Swamp ZAM08/2

« il: 28 Febbraio, 2014, 08:46:22  »

Hi All,

Whilst hunting for some eggs I managed to track down some Notho eggs. I bought three different species but the N.kafuensis Lukanga Swamp ZAM08/2 eggs will be the first ready to wet. I was checking them this morning and it seems they might be eyed up and ready to wet. There were a few non-eyed up eggs but most were clearly showing signs of being ready.
 


What do you think?

Scambio/Regalo / Looking for

« il: 07 Febbraio, 2014, 08:56:31  »

Hi everyone,

I am looking for reliable sources of Killifish and Killifish eggs. Mainly Austrolebias or Simpsonichthys and some non-annuals like Aphyosemion, Fundulopanchax or Epiplatys that could tolerate some cooler temperatures for a cooler water system I am planning.

I am also looking for Notho species/eggs especially rachovii or eggersi.

If anyone knows where I might find some of these fish or eggs that'd be really great. Perhaps you can recommend a seller on eBay/aquabid?

Thanks,
Sam

Ciao a tutti, Sto cercando fonti affidabili di Killifish e Killifish uova. Principalmente Austrolebias o Simpsonichthys e alcuni non-annuali come Aphyosemion, Fundulopanchax o Epiplatys che potrebbe tollerare alcune temperature più fredde per un sistema di acqua di raffreddamento sto progettando. Sto anche cercando Notho specie / uova soprattutto rachovii o eggersi. Se qualcuno sa dove potrei trovare alcuni dei uova che sarei davvero grande. Forse si può consigliare un venditore su eBay / Aquabid? Grazie, Sam

Generale / Hello All

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Sam Jones. Firstly, I wanted to apologise for not speaking Italian. I thought it was better to write in English rather than attempting to use google translate. I hope that it is ok.

I am British but recently moved to Lausanne, Switzerland for work. I am a keen fish breeder, including Betta, Killfish, angelfish and much more. I recently had to sell all my fish due to the move but once settled here I want to start a few small breeding projects. As I now live much closer to Italy I thought it would be a good idea for me to sign up to the forum, with much help from Roberto (THANK YOU!).

When I was younger I used to work at my local fish shop and was an active member of the British Killifish Assocaition (BKA) and have kept a number of different Killi species in the past. My favourites are the Nothobranchius.

Just so you all know a bit more about me and the Killifish I have kept here is a list of the most of the species I have kept and bred in the past:
N. Eggersi
N. foerschi
N. korthausae
N. symoensi
F. gardneri gardneri
F. scheeli scheeli (my first killi)
Rivulus rubrolineatus
Rachovia hummelincki
Cynolebias whitei
Aphyosemion austral (Gold and Chocolate)
Aplocheilus lineatus

I joined the forum as I am looking for reliable sources of Killifish and Killifish eggs. Mainly Austrolebias or Simpsonichthys and some non-annuals like Fundulopanchax or Epiplatys that could tolerate some cooler temperatures for a cooler water system I am planning. I am also looking for Notho species/eggs especially rachovii or eggersi.

Any help the members of the AIK can provide me would be greatly appreciated. I am also hopeful that I can become involved in some discussions and provide information on some of the species I have kept in the past, to any one that is interested.

Thank you,
Sam
