Re: [Killietalk] Golden killies

Mark, your tank is certainly large enough for these fish. Do you have plenty
of floating plants? If you get babies,
they can hide in these until you net them up and place them
in their own quarters. Look for babies in the corners of the tank, is where
I would find mine.The adults are quite predacious on their youngsters, so
you will want to separate them from the parents ASAP. Great fish, kinda wish
I had some again:  very enthusiastic eaters at din-din time.  What I'm
wondering is if loaches, tetras,  and corys eat eggs....:-/
