Beginners Luck

[Bill Martin <bmartin at gfhnrc_ars.usda.gov>]

      Some times it helps to recall what we were like when we first started 
keeping killifish.
      My first year in the AKA I bought all kinds of killies, some of them 
reasonably rare, before assessing whether I could care for them 
properly.  I killed a lot of fish in my enthusiasm and since then have 
learned to exercise more self control (sort of).
      When I lost my female gardneri and male cinnamoneum, I put the 
survivors together and bred them.  My biggest early success was with A. 
mirabile traudea (sp?) that I got from Holland.  I raised over 50 of the 
fry in the basement with out an aquarium heater.  They were all males.
      Anybody else do anything stupid as a beginner.
