Could I Get Some Killifish ?

[moochy13]

im after some fish that will occupy the upper levels of my tank, and not hide away all day. my mate has some killifish, and they're always visible, and amazing to look at.

my stocking and tank is in my sig below, is there anything in there that wont agree with killis ? if i got some i would be removing some fish anyway as its quite stocked up, but id just like to know ifi ts possible without major stick changing.

secondly, i understand some killis only live for a year or something ? obviously i want some that last a bit longer than that, so any general info on species to look for is a great help. do i need more than a pair ? do males get along if i was to get a group. i also think the females are less colourful, so if i can id like as many males (within reason) as i can get. im aware golden wonders are a bit keen on small fish, and i like my cherry barbs

If I'm being honest, you should not add more fish, you are overstocked. 'nuf said...

thanks, i read your topic about the fish you mentione, most helpful. ill look through the others tomorrow. you mention you added a second male for breeding purposes, would a second male be ok long term, or did you remove him once the 'deed was done' ?
