Hello Sam, hello all on the list,
The fish with blue iridescent eyes mostly found in LFS (I've learn this
word, I use it ! good for my english) - at least in our country, France -
should be Aplocheilichtys normani, which is widespread in Africa from west
coast to Sudan. This is a pretty little fish, with very large blue eyes,
and laying very big eggs for such a dwarf killi... Other schooling killies
are belonging to the genus Epiplatys, and Procatopus for example. Don't
forget the magnificent Lamprichtys tanganykanus, if your income allows you
such an outlay !
The rivulus topic: I'm looking for eggs of large rivulus, such as R. igneus.
Additionnal topic: I'm looking for species of Aphanius (A. mento and A.
anatoliae)...
