Re: [Killietalk] Beginner's Annual opinions



Hi Amber,

Without a doubt Nothobranchius guentheri is by far the best annual to try 
first.  It is easy to breed, the incubation period is two months and the fry 
take baby brine shrimp immediately.  The young fish can be sexed out at 6 
weeks to 2 months.  They are a lovely red tailed Notho.  Still just a bit 
cold for me to ship any out - but would gladly send you a freebie or two 
pairs in April.

Come to the AKA National Convention in Syracuse NY on May 23-25th to really 
sink your feet into the mud!   Also - I am sure you will hear - but there 
are killie clubs in Pennsylvania - both sides of the state - Pittsburg and 
Phillie areas.
