[Killietalk] Fp.filamentosum

["Tim Addis" <timaddis at killifish_force9.co.uk>]

I brought back some eggs of Fp.filamentosum Ikeja from Sweden a couple of 
years ago. These differed from our UK form of this population. I passed on 
some of the progeny as you do in such circumstances & thought I had put 
enough out for safety. I'm left with a really old trio which should be dead 
by now but are still going. I cleaned out the tank today. I had a tub of 
peat in just to be cheeky. As a matter of routine I netted the peat & put it 
on paper. I was amazed to find eggs. These were showing signs of 
development. These fish are at least 2 years old & fertile. For a 
Fundulopanchax to do this is not normal. I would add that these were kept on 
the top row through this time in full sunlight. Not cool water.
It would be nice to hear from others experiencing fertile eggs from this sp. 
at 2 years of age.
