What happened to the killie keepers?

[boofeng]

Hello AQ

It's been a long time since we've had killifish populations circulating locally. What happened to everybody?

I recently got into killies with the generous help of some old killie keepers (not sure if they're still active on AQ, but I did manage to look them up offline), especially timebomb/Loh. So far, I've only succeeded fully with Nothobranchius rachovii, but a few other species are on hand or on the way.

I'm curious if anyone else is still raising killifish locally - if you're currently raising some, or keen to raise some in future, do say hello and maybe we can help each other out with killie stuff.

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Cheers

hi boofeng,any luck linking up with more local killies hobbyist?

No more than when I started this thread, but I've managed to chat more with the local keepers and they've been a great help. Quite a few of them were active on AQ before, but no longer.

Also, I'm fortunately able to buy eggs from Aquabid. Received quite a lot of eggs in good shape from Kiril Kardashev recently, and also some from Frans Vermeulen earlier (but there were issues with Singpost and the eggs didn't do so well, but that's another story).

I'm going to order again from Kiril soon (his username on Aquabid is "Emagic"), so if anyone here is keen do let me know. We can ship together and get Kiril to use a styrofoam box.
