[Killietalk] Beginner Questions - 'golden wonder killie' at Petsmart

["Frank Mueller" <frank_mueller88 at hotmail_com>]

I've had aquariums from 1977, when I was 10, to 1995 , but had to give it up 
when I moved away from Germany.  Now I live in Ohio and last year I have set 
up a little tank again - 29G.  It currently holds 10 neon tetras, 4 hatchet 
tetras, 6 otocinclus and 10 amano shrimp.  It is decorated with a rock 
background, 2 big pieces of wood, and lots of Java fern and Java moss.

It's a nice tank, but there isn't much happening in there and I think I'd 
like to get some fish that might breed in there.  I was initially thinking 
about some apistogramma, but tonight I saw some killiefish at my local 
Petsmart.  They were called 'golden wonder killie' and there were 7 of them 
at $2.99 each.

If I decide to go the killiefish route, should I get those, or would I be 
better of to order some eggs through the mail?  Would killies be a good 
choice for my tank and purposes?  Finally, any further information on 
'golden wonder killies' would be helpful.

Many thanks

Frank

PS: My water parameters are: NH3 = 0, NH2 = 0, NH3 = 5, pH = 7.4, GH = 8, 
Cl2 = 0, temp = 82F.  Filtration is via an Eheim 2217 that drives a 6-jet 
UGJ system.  Aeration is via an Aquaclear 301 power head.  You can see
