Aphyosemion Gardneri

[Rickster]

Hi




Does anyone know about killifish, in particular aphyosemion gardneri variety? I have read differing opinions, some saying they are peaceful fish, and others saying they are aggresive? Also that they live to approx 1 year old. I would like to know if anyone could shed some light on this matter, and tell me once and for all the real info.




Many Thanks

Rickster

I am pretty sure they are now called Fundulopanchax gardneri. Here is a good post by BigC.

Not shure if Latain names are being re-gigged (the taxonomists seem to do it every month ) but IME, they are peaceful to most fish. Should be avoided with things with long fins, but otherwise well behaved. They breed like rabbits also, and are a great first egg layer breeding project

All the best

EDIT to add, one male, or lots of males, to a tank to avoid agression issues. Need to be kept as all one gender, or as trio's (1M 2F).

You asked me where to obtain eggs. I supplied you with contact No's
Any follow up on this

Fundulopanchax gardneri nigerianus (Location or Code ref.)
Can be pretty boisterious when fully mature but not really aggressive as such.

I asked where to get the fish not eggs? If there not aggresive I may well get one, have found a LFS that sells them for £4.99, thanks for the info though BigC
