Re: New to the hobby
Welcome to killietalk, Michiko. I think you'll find this a very lively group of very helpful people; all of us fascinated by these little killifishes. I have been breeding estuarine killies of several species in both large and small tanks for many years; and, under some conditions, I have put a variety of other estuarine species in with the killies. The main things to remember are not to "overload" your tank (even a 55 gallon tank can become overcrowded), keep an eye on water quality, and only mix species that are compatible. I have put sheepshead minnows, Gambusia, and small gobies and blennies in with my killies and everyone gets along just fine. Hope you enjoy killietalk.
Carole in Jax.

Hi My name is Michiko. I am new to the group. It is so wonderful that
people can exchange the messages about what we are all into.
One of my friends who is in the local Aquarium society introduced me to
Killifishes. I thought Killifishes were the ugliest fishes. It is what I
thought. But I now totally think that Killifishes are one of the most
beautiful fishes. I just think that a lot of times pictures would not
show the beauty of killifishes. They look really pretty in person (in
fishes?) because of their sizes. It is just how I feel. Everyone has
different opinions.
It is so hard to get nice killifishes. I usually get them through
Aquarium Society Auction. Killies are not always there. I have gotten
some at local fish stores (not really local) before, but to go to the
lfs, I have to beg to my bf to drive me for 2 hours. I wish there were
available at a lot of stores. It is just nice to watch them swim and
also great to be able to buy it whenever.
I am really new to the killifishes, so I am not quiet sure. But can
people put a lot of killifishes (one specific kind) in big tank such as
55? I usually see them in small tanks. I am also wondering if there is
any fishes that can be in the same tank.
Michiko
