Re: [Killietalk] South Texas Native Killies

Thanks for the reply. The search for that fish on the net led me to what I
believe I am after....the Gulf Killifish Fundulus grandis. I've attached a
few interesting links regarding this fish. I have seen them survive and
appear to thrive in a completely fresh water aquarium, but no breeding
attempt was made. I hope to be able to spawn them eventually.
