    Hello Everybody!
    Best Regards from Sofia; BULGARIA!
    My name is Hristo Hristov and I'm a APF's Guy too.

    In the spirit of this St. Valentine's Day…Let me tell you a Little Killi's Love Story…

    Hey, men…you know – if there is a Pretty Woman… or even not exactly “Pretty” one…


    …there are always two rival Lovers, get ready to conquer her love…


    …The Proud Winner…


    …”Dancing cheek to cheek”…and “Love me tender” in Killi’s version…




    …So, you know pretty well how that story goes on…

    HAPPY VALENTINE, EVERYONE !

    Hristo,
    Welcome to AQ and Happy Valentine's Day!
    That is some very nice looking killies and very good photography!
    Do stick around and show us what else you have in your tank.
    BTW, that's a very romantic story.

    Hi Hristo

    Thanks for the "steamy" pictures. They are so beautiful, both the fishes and your photography skills.

    Thank you, mates!
    I'll be glad, if here are some Experts about Killifishes...
    and help me to ID correct those Nothobranchius spesimen...!?
    So, there is a little biography info about Those Notho…
    Those Specimen was “discover” and export from an Expedition in Tanzania
    by two Russian men(S.Torgashev and Shidlovski) and a Bulgarian(K.Kardashev) in ‘2005 year.
    The last year, a friend of mine – Vasko Gogov, had buy a pair of this Nothos, visiting the Killi Show in Odessa(UKRAINA).
    The upper Pair, from my “Valentine’s” post…is the next fry.
    Here is the bigger photo of a male, and the name I know about is just:
    Nothobranchius sp. Kiziko TAN 05 RB
    Would be glad to hear your opinion about…

    Hristo,

    All your different series are very impressive. I think I will rename all your threads to include your username so that all our members can easily seach for your threads just by the title alone. Hope you don't mind!

    Keep them pictures coming!

    Cheers,

    I've seen Hristo amazing works before he joined AQ. And I know from there that his main weapon is the 350D + 50mm macro.

    Proves that don't need high-end cameras to get excellent pictures.

    Thank you, mates!

    So, according to some of the Professional opinion, of Colleagues from DKG,
    until we have a scientific result…the correct name of those Nothos specimen has to be:
    Nothobranchius spec. affin melanospilus `TAN-RB 05/47, Kiziko´

    For now, I’ll finish its Presentation with this wonderful males combat:

    the normal abbreviation for the "species" is sp. and "affinis" is aff.

    hence Nothobranchius sp. aff. melanospilus `TAN-RB 05/47, Kiziko´
    but depending on which scientists you follow, the "sp." is also unnecessary since you already have the "affinis" species name (which is melanospilus).
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.
