Here is a direct link to the American Killifish Association's information section on Nothobranchius:

A Google search for "Nothobranchius" should yeild
a huge amount of links for information.

Nothos are fairly easy to breed , the main problem is the incubation period can vary from weeks to months.
I have started to dry and incubate eggs of N Jubbi (warfa blue) the book gives from 6 weeks to 12 weeks depending on temperature 76-78 F seems to give about 6 weeks , But time will tell.
It also helps if there are a pair for breeding
Another point is as they are classed as Annuals they have a fairly short lifespan.
Would add salt to the tank water at teaspoon/gallon , this helps reduce VELVET.
