Welcome back Al.  Some of the South American annuals prefer lower
temperatures.  Nematolebias whitei comes to mind because I have that one,
but there are others that inhabit waters that approach or reach the freezing
point.
Then there are the North American natives to consider.  Take a look at
Lucania goodei.

Subject: Getting Back Into the Hobby - Questions


Hello everyone,

It's been a whole lot of years since I was in the hobby....last was about
1975 
or so. From lurking and reading the posts, I can see that a LOT has changed!

I used to raise Blue Bularis, and was quite successful for that time. I now
have 
an apartment located about 50 miles north of Albany NY, USA, and have a
basement 
available to me. The temperature runs about 60 degrees F in the winter to 74

degrees F in the summer.

 
I'd like to get back into killifish, but I am wondering if those temps are 
suitable for any particular fish, or will I need to get heaters? Also I'd
like 
to use smaller tanks to start, about 5 to 10 gal.

Any suggestions as to appropriate species?? Would Blue Gularis do well in
these 
temps? Guess you can see how long it's been, huh?? Any suggestions would be 
appreciated!

Al
