Hatching Killies

[lilfishie]

I have been offered some Killi eggs for the cost of postage as they are nearing there hatch date *no idea on the actual date until they arrive* but they are

Nothobranchius guentheri red

Any tips on hatching them out?

I have tubs, microworms, BBS a 2ft empty which I will use as a grow out.

always been so tempted to try hatching these! keep looking and thinking no best not but no I feel I am ready. Recently spawned Bettas so used to feeding/cleaning and such

Any help/info greatly received thanks

I understand these fry are very small and only the largest ones will be able to eat your BBS or micro worms (mainly males). So I suggest you get some infusoria to maximise your survival rate.

can do that no problem did it with my Bettas

Great! Looks like you are all set then...

Another thing that worked with the tiny killifish fry was "first bites"
