Have you tried Aquabid, many of the sellers are based in but will post to Canada ?

Check out this seller, you could try contacting him as he is based in Canada and sells killi eggs, ergo he has adults available

Aquabid

No problem, looks as the addy for this guy is in Vancouver, not sure where you are in conjunction but it has got to be cheaper getting them from him than a lf's.

Fingers crossed for you.

thanks. do u know what his fish look like though?

 

[Amerce]

Nope but he has 100% feedback (87/87) so his buyers are pleased with the eggs, never bought live fish from Aquabid so can't say.

You can ask for photo's of his fish, I'm sure he will provide them.

Thanks i just googled it after..but i think id rather get the eggs because theres 40 eggs for around 10-12$ and here in canada if u buy that kind of fish they sell aroud 50$ for a pair. and if i bought them from him even know that im a province away the fish might freeze so i might get them in a few months...do u think they'd go good with guppies, balloon molly, and swordtail platys?

Killifish require quite different water conditions than harder water livebearers and the mollies require a certain amount of salt added.
Best to set up a little separate species tank for the killifish.
Try Fred Behrmann at Athens Aquatics NY
Athensaquatics@Juno.com
See if he can help you out.
He may be prepared to post but it may cost you extra.
If he can't help in that respect then ask him if he can supply you with details of a contact within the Canadian Killifish Association (CKA)
Good Luck

thanks:Garett A.K.A (Balloons&Killies


p.s. do killies need filters?

 

[BigC]

You don't really want Sjoestedti as your first species they are very large, bottom spawning species.
On the whole Killifish will be fine without filters especially the powered type. If your going to use filters I suggest that you utilise small air driven sponge types.
There is an excellent breeder of killifish in Quebec
Pierre Pelletier

Lac Etchemin

I dont have his email address or phone details. He doesn't have any Fp. gardneri type sp. but he may know someone who has.

thanks. should i get fp. gardneri lafia gold have u ever raised them?

 

[BigC]

I'm not a great lover of "gold" morphs of any variety of Killifish.
I prefer to go for the nigerianus types, they tend to be more colourful.
Locational references to look out for would be

Fundulopanchax gardneri Nigerianus ( + any locational ref. below)
Port Harcourt
Innidere
Jos Plateau
Lokoja
Makurdi
Misaje
P82

See my article http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=280786
Hope that helps
