RE: [Killietalk] RE: Killies on the bubble
Diane,
There are quite a few species which do well in warmer temperatures. I live
in Houston, TX and many of the local club members keep killies in their
ponds all year around. I suggest reading some articles supplied by NANFA
first. Native killies require larger tanks than imports. If you are still
interested, email me.

Subject: [Killietalk] RE: Killies on the bubble
I would love to keep a native killie that can tolerate my warm apartment and
is legal to keep....maybe I'm way off here, but my impression has been that
most native killies wouldn't like tanks going to 85 degrees in the summer,
except the pupfishes that you can't keep legally. I kept some flagfish for
algae control and will try them again when opportunity presents (this time
to breed them). Are there other native killies that meet both the
temperature AND legality requirements that I've overlooked?
