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.
