[Killietalk] RE: Killietalk Digest, Vol 14, Issue 14
Dear Paul,
I saw your post on Killietalk concerning your breeding technique. There are
so few people I've come across in this hobby who use this method. In fact, I
am the only one I know of who has used it. I had to have thousands of
Aphyosemion gardneri Akure for my graduate research project, and this is
basically the technique I used, with a few minor differences. Actually, I am
thinking about going back to this technique if I ever manage to get JAKA
caught up to the cover date. I've got a whole shelf full of empty 1-gallon
pickle jars cleaned and ready to use as breeding vessels.
I think this is an excellent technique for getting a large number of fry in
a very short period of time, and that's why I am writing to you about it. Do
you think I could talk you into writing a small article about your method
for publication in JAKA. I don't know how much experience you have had at
expository writing, but I certainly would be willing to help you in any way
I can. I think this is an important message to get out to the membership. A
topic like this could easily be covered in 500 to 1000 words, but if you
need more, those numbers are not written in stone. A couple of quick photos
if you have a digital camera would complement the article and would actually
make it easier to write and edit.
Please let me know, either way, how you feel about this proposition. This is
basically what JAKA is all about...members sharing their experiences with
members.
You can e-mail me at home or at work. Home is jakaeditor at bellsouth_net. Work
is mostrow at mlgw_org.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Cordially,
Marshall Ostrow
Executive Editor, JAKA

You have two young kids, and in the last year you've built a fishroom
for killies and whipped up this page? Amazing. How can one person
have so much energy?!

I breed all my fish in a controlled manner. I divide the pair males on one
side and females on the other and each pair is put into a container of peat
for approxiately one hour to breed and then I separate again. I have
Rachovii MZ 99. They are a beautiful Rachovii killie.
I keep all my killies in a 3 gallon tank; each species in different tanks;
I have lots of Java fern in each tank and I feed the parents frozen fish,
and when I breed them, only then do they get live worms. I don't have many
tanks only eight.
Sincerely,
Paul

Subject: RE: [Killietalk] N. rachovii
Mark & Tyrone,
Thanks for the info. I was just curious if there was a strain that was
significantly more difficult/easy than others. I've talked with some
people
who have had real problems w/ egg production, and others who get excellent
production. I'm not really worried about fry size, as long as I have the
time to care for them. Which is why I'm looking into rachovii. Due to the
seasonal nature of my job, I'm looking for some nothos with longer
incubations periods. I don't have time in spring to raise a lot of fry.
So
when I have room again, this will probably be my next notho. Are any
strains more aggressive than others?

Nick,
A lot of people report N. rachovii as being a hard fish to keep. This
hasn't been my experience. The most difficult part is getting the fish
up to sub-adult size, and that is easily accomplished by having the
right sized live foods, such as microworms, infusoria, vinegar eels,
etc. Once they are on larger foods, I haven't had a problem.
Are people having other troubles with them?
So I'm sorry I haven't answered your question directly, but I would say
that other difficulties that might apply would be egg production of a
particular collection. In this respect, any strain that has been in the
hobby for a while would be a good choice, as it most likely is a decent
egg producer.
Cheers,
Mark
