Ronnie, I think it should be okay to upload the pics to the forum but we have to acknowledge the person who owns them. I think David mentioned they belong to the exporter in Peru.

David also said he has the eggs of the Aphyolebias sp.#153 available so that will be my choice. Please take note of that, Zul. Thank you.

The pics belong to Lance Peck of "Gone Wild" in Peru, I believe he has his name layered over some of the pics. I can not give permission, nor do i have permission to use the pics for public viewing. I have emailed him but have yet to recieve a reply. Use your own knowedge and judgement in your decision to post the pics here.

Rubrocaudatus

David, can you give us an idea how large these fellas will grow? From the pics, they look huge!

**RonWill** · 30th Mar 2004, 19:16

David, are the Moema quiii throwing eggs? I would be interested in these and sp. #153 when available.

Looking forward to your available egg list as well.

**killifishdavid** · 30th Mar 2004, 19:33

All of the new wild caught aquisitions are being conditioned and treated for any intestinal parasites that may exsist. I will be setting the Moema and a few groups of the Aphyolebias up to breed very soon. The Aphyolebias sp#153 attained a size of about 3 1/2 to 4 inches. The Moema will reach a size of up to 8 inches!!! I have the 2 largest pairs now in a 55gallon tank with a group of Ep.infrafasciatus. The 2 prs of Moema are about 4 1/2 to 5 inches at this time.

Wow!! The fish are beautiful.

I have a soft spot for big Killies. So please let us know when you collect eggs from the Moema, David.

urm... David, I think I'll pass on the Moema. At that size, even the infamous SJOs looks like snacks to them

**A.Rashid** · 30th Mar 2004, 23:13

slurp slurp slurp.......

**francis** · 31st Mar 2004, 14:13

Hi Guys,

Actually I shouldn't be ordering any more eggs because;
Firstly, I am running out of space..
Secondly, I have too many species on hand but nothing like Au with 40 over..Wonder how he handle them????

BUT since there is a mass order going on, I would like to place my order too.

If possible, I am interested in getting the eggs of Micromoema xiphophora.
Thank you.

**killifishdavid** · 4th Apr 2004, 19:29

Lily,
I too would like to get the Mic. xiphophora established in my hatchery!
I had this fish in the early 90's and did fairly well with them, I like them as they are especially peaceful species as well as unusual. So far all eggs I have had sent to me have been zero hatch, s I do not yet have this species.

The Moema quiii have started to spawn in their 2 gallon goldfish bowl filled with peat moss, I will wait about 3 weeks before pulling the peat for the first time to inspect for eggs.

This week I ship out many eggs orders and should be able to put up a list
by the end of next week for you all to pick and choose from. Please be patient with me as my wife is pregnant and ready to give birth any time now! I am 42 years of age and ready for my first children, so this time, now I may be away from the computer at any given moment for this one of the largest events in a mans life!!!

Congrats too, David!

Don't worry too much about the mass order, we can wait. Seeing your child delivered the first time is more important and it's a wonderful feeling. I know I enjoyed that moment.

I felt like I was in heaven when my daughters were born but the first time I hatched my own killifish eggs, I was just as happy too

.

Congratulations on becoming a father soon, David. Let us know when it's time to pass the cigars around :wink:
