Title: African Killi Fish
Post by: Kerby on December 28, 2009, 11:39:48 PM
Hello I am new again. I used to be a member when I was 15 years old (now 44).At that time a member started me on Killi Fish. They were I think (American Flag) They had red and blue tails and white body anyone know of a source for pictures so I may confirm. Also have not been in the hobby for many years and when I start again would really like to find this type again they were fun to raise. I know live on lake front in Quebec so the water here I think would suite them well. I had fun learning the hobby as part of the Society and looking forward to meeting people at the January meeting.

Hi,
There is an article in the January issue of Aquarium magazine on American Flagfish.

There's a guy in Montreal...I think his name here is Montrealguy...who breeds some kinds of killifish.  He might have them or knows where to get them.  Other than that, I've only ever seen these nicer killies for sale in Toronto.  Killifish eggs are usually very easy to ship, so you might have some luck ordering some on-line...perhaps wait until the weather warms a little though.

Welcome back to the hobby and OVAS!
