Re: Favorite Killifish

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at cornell_edu>]

They are in the hobby and were collected as recently as 2002.

To forestall orders, I don't have any available as yet. The Aphyobranchius 
spp. are difficult fish and there are no guarantees that I, at least, will 
have any to distribute. One of the reasons for them being rare in the hobby 
is the difficulty of raising the fry.
