    On the other hand, with regards to the rachovii fry, you can feed them with microworms as an early food, and then switch to BBS and Moina/Daphnia when they are at the appropriate size. Once they start on worm foods their growth rate will increase dramatically.

    Pronounciation of the species name is usually ra-cho-vee-i, due to the extra i at the end. There are 2 very similar species, but you can tell them apart by the coloration on the body as well as the tail fin. They are Nothobranchius pienaari (usually referred to as the black form of rachovii) and Nothobranchius krysanovi, which has a distinctive pattern in the tail, but otherwise looks the same as any other rachovii. You can find images for both species via Google.

    Belly sliders occur in some species of killifish, due to a variety of reasons, but one of them is that the fry was unable to inflate the swim bladder right after birth. Most fry after they hatch out from the egg, will make a quick wriggle for the water surface, upon which they take in a small amount of atmospheric air to fill their swim bladder. Weakened fry may not be able to do this. You can alleviate this problem with the use of aged aquarium water, slightly cooled in the fridge and with a quarter of an oxygen tablet. Fill the hatching tray just enough to cover the peat. You should keep the water level shallow, maybe a cm or so above the peat, to give the fry a shorter distance to travel to the water's surface. Strong and healthy fry will be free swimming within hours of the hatching.

    Check the marketplace section or ask people from Betta Club Singapore. Microworm is super easy to culture here. Problem is, that they explode in number easily in our climate. You don't need a lot to feed the fry actually, because a single swipe with your finger will have enough to feed more than 50 fry. You should only use this microworm for the first 3 days or so, and make sure to create sub-cultures on a regular basis. The culture will smell like beer after awhile, due to the activity of the worms and the yeast upon which they feed.

    Re: N.Rachovii eggs hatched!!

    Hi everybody this is for clarification.
    I was talking about microworms not killi eggs for sale. Who would sell half a tub of eggs for $4?
    If you want killi fry newly hatched you can contact me via pm. I might be selling or trading a few fry.
    Please put down your name when you whatsapp me. I'm selling microworms and fry of killies but no eggs at the moment.

    Most lfs sells them in small packs. If not, you can go those gardening shops. The peat they sell are safe to use. If not, boil first
