- ingloriousbettas.com | Re-upload of a favorite! Jim is truly a master of his craft. He maintains many beautiful species of fish, particularly Nothobranchius killifish. And yes, it's a little bit of a chaotic interview because it was during one of our San Francisco Bay Area Killifish Association meetings that Jim was kind enough to host :)
Wow. I was totally floored by the fish, the keeper and his innovation. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy New Year.
i'm watching some of your videos again and my god... i watched this one countless times last year or so, when i was super stoked about keeping killifish! seeing this one, as well as many of your own fish room videos was really inspiring to me. always so informative and with such good taste for a certain kind of setup! now i'm keeping tons of killis!
I'm glad they were helpful!
Wow a true fish master! This was a pleasure to watch. You could do videos with this guy all the time. I especially liked his ideas on Brine shrimp hatching. I think a whole video on that with him would be great!
That's an amazingly interesting video. I've learnt many this just from watching this one.
Great vid! I just came across it again while folding laundry. I wish you were still making videos. Maybe it's time for a fish room update??????????🙏
Hope all is well and Cheers,
Chris
Hey, you fixed it! Thank you so much. This is by far the best video on the subject that I have found on here. Great work.
PS, Mr.Fong is the man!
Yes!!!! I'm glad it finally works! :D
What?!?! Most beautiful fish I w ever seen!! I gotta visit this guy.
Amongst the best nano fish !!
Thank you! So much information!
what a sweet guy
I love your fish room. I have subbed.
Those lampeye are lovely!
Great Fishroom!
Thank you so much..Thinking of trying these.. Soaking up all the knowledge...What Killi fish do you have??
Just came across this. Haven't seen a video from you in forever. Hope all is well,
Cheers,
Chris
I saw an Nothobrantus Foerschi Killifish at the 16.54 second mark
What is the tank size for the Australe?
I've got a male and female striatum, and would like to separate them in between breeding so it's not too hard on them, planning on using the critter keepers but ideally would like to save on space and go as small as fairly possible
Another killifish breeder in the club keeps single killies in pickle jars! He also changes water every day though. The smaller the volume, the more water changes you must do to keep them healthy.
Inglorious Bettas thanks for the reply! I've been using the exo Terra faunarium small, it's 9x6x6 inches (5 litres) with sponge filter for my striatums, but just wanted to check whether that would serve the Australe too :)
Okay, I've listened to this seven times. At 2:54, while discussing N. guentheri, he says the "substrate, it's a combination of peat moss and coyer".... What the heck is coyer? Great site, by the way.
Jim answered via e-mail: coir is coconut husk.
I'm glad Jim got back to you! :D
It sure would be nice to know where to buy his killies or eggs from. I don't see a link on this video description
Cool fish I think I will try killi fish. Wow.
Did he have Nothobrantus Foerschi Killifish?
I’m getting 30 Nothobranchius Rachovii killifish (not black just regular) in the mail from eBay, and ik how to care for them but I was just wondering if this guys had a TH-cam channel so I could get some tips?
Is there a way to purchase eggs from him? Does he have an email? It's always neat to see the passion in the hobby!
I believe you can reach him through the American Killifish Association member database if you are also a member. You can also email me through my website and I can see if I can put you in touch with him if you are interested in a particular fish. I don't think Jim usually sends through the mail though - he mainly sends to shows like I do
Does he sell killis to public?
This is awsome!!! I have always wanted to see a killifish room. Thanks for reuploading this with sound. Check the Sjoestedti videos on my channel.
Are these all annuals?
Can you pls explain the concept of adding bleach into brine shrimp hatchery
Bleach kills off any potentially harmful bacteria. It disappears by the time the eggs hatch, so it's safe to use in between cycles.
do those snails predate on the eggs in the mops?.
That's a great question datinyone! I don't know, I can ask Jim next time I see him. I don't add snails to tanks that I want to collect eggs from, but I always have snails once the fry are free swimming. The snails eat any leftover fry food and fry eat the bacteria in the snail poop.
yeah i saw some snails in with his spawning mops. wondered if i should chuck one or two in with my pairs.. lol..
Can you do a video where you order some Nothobrantus Foerschi Killifish eggs off of eBay and do vids where you do a weekly log on the fry from egg to adult. N. Foerschi is a beautiful Killifish that is very easy to breed, just add a lot of peat moss to the tank and they'll start laying eggs within days plz do this thank you!
I love the look of Nothos and I might do one of these in the future. It's always a question of time and space!
Do all Killifish only live 6 months?
No it depends on the species. Some can live for years
What type lives for year ??
can I buy killifish eggs from you guys?
Message the San Francisco Bay Area Killifish Association group on Facebook and they can put you in contact with Jim :)
i just got a blue gularis USA killifish and im in love. The rest seem so boring in comparison.
The blue gularis are very impressive! Good luck with them!
Why do people do video visits and don’t ask the host to shut off the background tv which no one is watching anyway....
sloppy camera work but still a great vid
Thank you?
Like the vid but them talking in the background is very annoying I carnt hear u 👎
This was at a Bay Area Killifish Association meeting. It's one of the few times we meet a year and we are full of fish pent up fish conversation. It's not fair to ask everyone to be quiet for the sake of a video. I've stopped filming at these events largely because I want to enjoy myself with everyone, and having a camera in front of my face is a conversation stopper. I'll go back one of these days when it's just Jim and I so I can film a "nicer" version.
Please do not let negative remarks affect your future video recordings . . . It is at an actual fish meeting & it can't be helped anyhow . . . It is absolutely awesome that Jim uses his engineering degree to enhance his fishkeeping ! ! !
