Wanted to give you an update on some of the native killies I received
from you. L. omata is finally breeding in typical killie fashion. It
took me a while to get them started. They finally started egg production
a week or so ago. I keep them in a small jar with a mop and pick an
average of 3 -5 eggs each day ( am experiencing a 90-95% hatch rate). I
have about 30 juveniles so far. Have not determined if the Bluefin
killies are breeding. They are outside and I have not checked them in a
while. F. chrysotus has also been spawning. I have been getting about a
dozen eggs a week from them ( am getting a 99% hatch rate). Since L.
omata is easy to breed and they are desirable fish, I could use some more
to expand my breeding efforts. Let me know if or when you have any to
spare.
