Re: Adult sizes of killies

Although I have had some of the other fish on your
list the following is a list of maximum size that I
have raised from this list and a few other common
killies.  A. australe 3 inches; A. bivittatum Funge 3
inches, A. gardneri Akure 3.5 inches, Nematolebias
whitei 4.5 -5 inches, Austrolebias nigripinnis 3
inches.
