-
- The only ad that I saw for Killifish eggs was in the Jan. '93 issue of
- Tropical Fish Hobbyist. It included some quotes for unspecified
- Nothobranchius and Fundulopanchax species, as well as plugs for
- brine shrimp eggs, Daphnia, and Aponogeton bulbs, of all things!
-
- I have sent an SASE for a price list. The address is Orbis Scientific,
- P.O. Box 3890, Milton, FL 32572. I have no idea if these people
- are any good.
-
- >: 2. Why are they so rare in the pet stores?
-
- Many are aggressive, some are plain, many are shy, many don't live
- longer than a year, and so on.
-
- >: 3. Do they ever really get to look as good as they did in these pictures
- >: or was that just some freak mutated fish that the snapped a photo of?
-
- Yes. There are many fabulous-looking killies.
-
- >: 4. The book talked about some killifish association or something like that,
- >: is it still around? Address?
-
- The American Killifish Association advertises regularly in FAMA. Dues
- are $19.50. Write to Ronald Coleman, 903 Merrifield Place, Mishawaka,
- IN 46544 if you are interested.
