Steffen,
Thanks for an excellent summary, too much of keeping Killifish seems to be based on rumour, so it is good to get some first hand information.
I was surprised about the peat and acidity, and also the incubation times - a lot of it seems to be more black art. So it is great to hear some straight forward facts.
I have two tanks of S. magnificus now, one a young breeding pair in a small tank and another two foot tank with 12 but male heavy. I was hoping to see how they are as a social group in the 2' tank, but unfortunately they seem to be a shy fish so as soon as i enter the room they stop what they are doing and start watching me rather than me watching them.
But when I do catch them having fun in the peat, wow like the other posts say - the peat goes flying!
Anyway thankyou for a great summary of Simpsonichthys sp.
Scott.
Thanks again,
Scott Douglass
