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
