[Killietalk] Sterile pairs... N. kirki Chiuta MW 91-15

["Mark Pearlscott" <mark at pearlscott_com>]

Has anyone ever had a sterile pair of fish where you are never able to
collect eggs?  I have a pair of N. kirki Chiuta MW 91-15 (a very awesome
looking fish) which I got at WCW.  I can't and haven't been able to get
any eggs off of this pair/fish.  It is very frustrating.  This is the
only pair of fish I can't get eggs off of in my fish room.  Puzzling...

I'm wondering if one of them is sterile.  Has anyone else run into this
sort of thing.  Keep in mind that this pair was purchased (so there is
always the slim, however remote chance that I got a female from a
different species).  But even so, I am just wondering if anyone else has
ever ended up with a sterile pair.

If anyone else out there keeps this species and would sell me eggs,
please contact me off list.

Thanks,

Mark
