| Hey Guys, i have a pair of gardneri killifish that i have been trying to get to spawn for a while now and cant seem to get any results. Does any body have any experience with these fish or can help me out? Thanks, Brad | |

| Not sure which one you are working with or your setup but here's what I've done: Mine are in pair or trios in usually 5g tanks, low light usually just natural lighting that comes thru the windows. Temp low 70's, I throw a couple yarn mops in with mine and just trade them out every 7-10 days and/or throw some floating plants or java moss/fern in there in case of missing come eggs. When I pull the mops they are placed in a variety of different containers or you can pluck the eggs from them mop and put in the container or a butter dish with a thin layer of peat in the bottom and then check them after a couple days looking for eyes in the eggs then I put them back in the water. Food if I want them to really spawn alot "live foods" is what I use along the lines of black worms, walter worms, confused flour beetles, mosquito larvae (we don't have them up here yet this time of year) even daphnia works. Plus I feed them a couple times a day not alot but a little bit but most times they get a itty bitty pinch a third time since I feel guilty not giving them a treat when I feed everyone else. So for general just feed mine get a basic cichlid flake that they love but other than a couple these have all been raised on it.
Don't if that helped any with my rambling | |
