His word is have passion for what ever you're doing , otherwise once you lose it, it's just a chore
Exactly Oakland002!!!
killifish are so easy to take care of i just hatched some this morning
amazin stuff
At 11:04, when asked his favorite species, it sounds like he said "Livurus", but I'm guessing it was "Rivulus". I think the picture was a species of Rivulus. Is that correct?
thanks.
already watched this, haven't we?
colected on my birthday :)
hi there how much do you sell the eggs and how can i buy them from you
Did he write his book?
Where are you and do you ship to Florida and how much for 30 eggs?
wow those eggs could take some beating !! lol
What size are the aquarium that you used for the killiefishes
most "bigger tanks" are 25-25-20 cm rest is 30x15x15 cm.
You made this old man living in pain laugh by saying how you found your killifish fish.
Bless you friend!
how will Aphyosemion australe go with Kardinal tetra, ancistrus and gourami? will they get along?
+yudontsay Very bad idea to mix fishes with so different behaviors and having very different ecological needs. The Australe won't survive first, the cardinalis will follow next in the death. The 2 fishes needs soft and acid water, with humic acid, and low light with a temperature of 24° C max. Australe prefer small tanks with no current, a male with 3 females and lots of hiding places. No other fish. They reproduce naturally pretty well in good conditions
Cardinalis prefer medium sized tanks, living in large groups and not stressed if you want beautiful colorfull fishes, for cleaning the cardinalis and small tetras tank corydoras are better and not aggressive.
Far more interesting to have an specialized regional tanks. Ancistrus and gouramis have very different needs from the 2 first.
Will they eat brine shrimp you hatch at home?
Why do you use 2 different cameras one for the interviewer one for the killifish guy and different lighting and audio?
It was just weird how the questions were recorded separately but were recited like they were said in conversation. IMO it would have been much better to use a text overlay.
Is Mister Vermeulen, sell his book? Don't find any email adress to write him..
Thanks for your return..
PM.
Yes. I think he's sold out.
What brand is the peat most
I use cocopeat only.
sir is it possible to order some killiefish eggs to you? this is marlon delos santos and i lived herein hong kong.. i alsowouldlovedto bring it inmy hime land philippines.
This guy rocks an inspiration to us all!
