Re: Golden Killi -- an enigma -Reply
>>Shivan5952 wants an ID on a fish bought as "Golden Killi".
Don't worry Shivan5952 (what is your name BTW?) Things aren't as
dismal as they sound. First, check out the AKA web site (www.aka.org)
for photos of the fish Harry and Dale listed and see which photos most
closely match your fish. While you're there, take a look at the beginners
guide too.
It sounds as if this is your first venture into killies. The naming
nomenclature can be intimidating at first, but as Harry points out, it's very
important. But you can still enjoy your fish, even if you can't accurately
identify them. Most serious killie fans would ask that you don't distribute
any eggs or fry from these fish in the future. That will help keep the
known populations in the hobby pure.
Instead, once you get your feet wet, pick up a pair or two of a killie with a
known population from any of the folks you'll find here on the list. Use
these as the start of any serious breeding program.
Good luck
