I stopped keeping Killifish anymore due to their short life span, now I am keeping the Red Arowana fish. ❤❤❤
The majority of killifish are found in permanent streams, rivers, and lakes, and live between two and three years. Ref.: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killifish
I’m really excited to see these breed, but you’ve thrilled me with the Pearl fin!!, they are so few & far between.🙂 In Louisiana, I’m not likely to keep water cool enough for them. But now, I can enjoy yours. 🎉🐠🎊
Timely video Jason, been thinking of keeping killies in the future and that Pearl is just amazing!
Very cool Jason! These are among my favorite fish. Have fun with them
Killifish are beautiful. Waiting for you to come full circle back to Plecos and Corys. 🤣👍
Lol oh it's coming
Killies are my absolute favorite, they are just stunning and very underrated.
when i started with killifish 25 years ago i had one tank - at the end i had 35 tanks, keeping killifish is an addiction, they are the most beautiful and interesting fish
Man I already feel it. I just started and I already have 18 klli tanks lol
@@JadrenAquatics and they won't get lesser :) ... welcome to the most beautiful fish family ... i only reduced tanks when i moved to a new home and then only because i had to.
@@JadrenAquatics your fish are republican and rivals of my fish. The republican fish are the killifish,darterfish, gudeons and the northern and Southern {studfish}
@@JadrenAquatics let have this debate if your not chicken. A hybrid paradise fish vs a republican southern or northern studfish over territory who wins
@@JadrenAquatics If you're not chicken let's have this serious debate
Love it! Looking forward to starting with Blue Nothos soon.
Awesome looking fish my friend thanks for sharing God bless
I see killifish in my future! Thanks for all the inspiration. Can't wait to see how these are breed.
Gorgeous fish, I really would like to get some in the near future.
Great information years later
Love those fish 👍👍👍 I gotta get a few more killifish...my pair are so beautiful! Great video brother! 😃
It is nice one!!!! Content really Awesome!!
Gorgeous !!!
Some nice fish you have there.
That’s it!! That is it!!! I need some killis in my life.
Since you joined the AKA, they have a program where new members can get a pair of killies sent to them for free, you'll have to check it out on their website
I did but it said none were available lol
@@JadrenAquatics I think it's due to covid unfortunately. They were still doing it until this past year. But you also get a quarterly AKA journal publication that is very comprehensive!
Ok good. Would be sad to get nothing for $35
@@JadrenAquatics your shook to debate me see you republican fish conservatives talk alot but when it comes to a fish that can actually take on your fish your shook. BOO😆 BOO
Like water butterflies!
Awesome fish, man. I've been hoping to dive into killi keeping more. Good luck with breeding!
Thanks
@@JadrenAquatics your fish will always be rivals to my hybrid paradise/fighter plakat fish. Your fish is the rival to the paradise gourami fish alone. That's why your scared to debate me on who's fish is more aggressive over territory.
@@JadrenAquatics your scared to to debate me your shook BOO😆 BOO😆
Killifish are brackish water... the colors only come out in freshwater,, but they won't breed in freshwater,, they actually breathe air,, in Long Island we used to use them for bait, in brackish water they are grey and black and could be up to 6 in Long.. but when you slowly introduce them to freshwater all their colors explode
Thanks for your video …… what kind of substraite do you use in the aquariums? And do the fish sometimes use it for spanning substrait? pls. Finn🇩🇰
Killifish are Awesome
God Bless
Another great one really looking forward to seeing breeding with them you know me i tend to stick to shell dwellers but killi does interest me from time to time
There are only so many shell dwellers and yet so many tanks to be bought lol
@@JadrenAquatics lol yeah i could have 5 tanks of every shell dwellers my mind would still see a empty tank and think hmm shell dwellers lol
@@JadrenAquatics I'm a democrat🔵 My fish are demacrat🔵
@@JadrenAquatics your a chicken you haven't responded to my debate
Bonjour il sont magnifiques 👍👍🇨🇵
A few things that I strongly recommend when getting killifish, start with more than a single pair of a species. Keep your species and locations separate. Make sure your lids are very tight as these guys are incredible escape artists, which is why you should start with more than a single pair. A lot of OG killifish keepers like to say, the person that buys a single pair of a killifish is a fool. All that being said, killifish are one of the most underrated and underappreciated fish in the hobby.
I'm confused on your comments meaning. You say buying a single pair is bad? Is this ONLY due to jumping? I've bought one pair of redstriped Killifish hope I get some eggs!
@@DoctorlyRob jumping is only one reason. Always start with two pair.
@@kharnac3973 Yes, you sated that. I was wondering why.
Nice Video, I like the information piece for that dry cycle Kili. I have been looking all over for the video of your hoemade water filter. It was on a video of something else but I recall the explanation of using floss and a pump and a pop bottle to make a water purifier. wondering what pump and cant find that video..... wondering what pump fits in the bottle lol.....
I think this is it th-cam.com/video/_CqN3AXy8Ec/w-d-xo.html
@@JadrenAquatics That was a good one but it was a couple months ago. You were doing an unrelated and obviously I cann0t recall the name, but on another video you had shown a hme made water purifier you made and there was an aazon link I should have clicked on but anyway you said this pump fits right into a pop can and showed how to use regular floss to ake a fast water purifier. I am using ro and my planted tanks Nitrate is almost non existent but I have to do water changes like crazy to keep them as clean as I like. that would be perfect hook a hose to tehother end and disturb the substrate to one end where that sat and you can even change the floss out it was a great idea. lol I do recall you mentioned the price and $30 comes to mind. I found an aquatop power head that looked justlike it.

@@JadrenAquatics That s it thanks so much Jason....
Great video I'm a new subscriber already loving your content
Thanks that really means a lot
@@JadrenAquatics I'm a democrat🟦 voter my fish are demacrat your killifish are republican🔴
@@JadrenAquatics scaredycat BOO 😆BOO
I was happy you got the Aphyosemion bivittatum “Lagos” that I recommended. They were an easy spawn. I put Subwassertang in with mine and it worked like a charm. I also just bought the Red Stripe Killies from The Wet Spot and they are my next one I would love to spawn. I can't wait to see how you do with them.
I will also share another trick with Killi's that has really worked for me. Leave the pair in a tank for 6 weeks and then move them to another tank. Won't be long before babies start showing up.
@@zeroaquatics6531 I'm trying to remove all the eggs and hatch them elsewhere. Well at least that's the plan right now lol
Chromaphyosemion, not Aphyosemion
@@JadrenAquatics your SHOOK your scared to have that debate on who's fish is more aggressive over territory my hybrid paradise/plakat fighter fish or your killifish or the republican southern and northern studfish
@@JadrenAquatics look how scared you are BOO 😆 BOO😆
Can you do a video on how you make your Killies look so vibrant. Such as, Foods, water, temp. Thx! Great Video
I have not had them long so I'll have to read up on that first
@@JadrenAquatics honestly your republican🔴 subscribers are shook awell they don't want to debate either
@@JadrenAquatics your all shook BOO😆BOO
Ad some looking fish j....Hey when u start saling your fish and stuff I'd love to be able to help anyway I can if it's posting stuff for you on social media to whatever would be cool to help with anything with your new adventure in fish sales
Awesome I'll keep that in mind as I figure out what the heck I'm doing
Do you breed minnow? Or can you do a video on breeding minnow, I've only been doing livebearers but would like to try a fish that lay eggs and heard they are the easiest. Thanks, great video by the way!
Just breeding them outside in the outdoor tubs right now
@@JadrenAquatics I'm a democrat🔵 and hybridizer I done breed killifish or darters,gudeon fish or southern and northern studfish if I get them I ge a single male in my tank the only fish paired will be my hybrid fish In which my male hybrid paradise/fighter plakat fish will keep him in check
Good collection of Killies!! Where did u get all of these? Are you going to keep them or just breed and get rid of them?
All werspot and I don't know the answer the other question but I would assume yes and replace with a different species
ok yeah i thought i saw all those fish on wetspot! good luck! it looks like u r off to a good start!!
There soooo amazing sad that they don’t live long
Do they not live longer in captivity?
No it's not a captivity thing it's just a DNA thing
Jadren Aquatics 😢
Hi Jason. I see you got them from the WetSpot. Was that a good experience and recommend them as a source for these fish or to stick to Aquabid?
Yes I received quite a few fish from wetspot and have had great experiences. Thanks
@@JadrenAquatics I think the biggest rival is not the killifish it's the northern and Southern {studfish} they are more aggressive.
Anyone know where I can buy these online?
Where did you get them from?
Some from wetspot and others from aquabid
@@JadrenAquatics Thank you man
HI Jason, need your advice, i have been breeding fish (easy stuff like cherry barbs). I get the eggs, hatch the fry, but make it to the 2 week mark, then..........lots of casualties. I believe changing the water helps, but i need to change the containers as well (the new container will have less bacteria). big question, i have raised fry to about 4 weeks mark, then i put them in a cycled 10 gallon.......then they die. I am not sure if the water height is too high, maybe they cannot survive the deeper water? what is your opinion? thanks!
What are feeding them at that stage?
@@JadrenAquatics at the 2 week stage i am feeding powderized flake food. I do have baby brine shrimp, but these fry are too small to eat the BBS , (zebra danio fry, cherry barb fry). at least thats what i am thinking, maybe i am wrong about this?? I also put in an oak leaf in each fry container, they seem to feed off of this (i know the cherry barbs do). maybe I have it all wrong and should be feeding them your micro micron food (forgot the name). thanks for the reply. it seems they can eat the bbs at the 4 week mark.
By the 2nd week for sure they are ready for baby brine shrimp and really need that movement made by BBS to want to eat. Some fry will just not live on powder foods
@@JadrenAquatics thanks for the reply. ok, i will feed them BBS ........maybe I am hung up on my earlier experiences where i was not doing daily water changes and the water fouled up at the end of week 1, definatley at week 2. the amount of BBS for 2 week fry would be very small, like 1/4 of a vial from a water testing kit (2.5ml). ?? Thanks Jason
@@gasbike100mpg probably even less than that especially since it only last 48hrs
Beautiful fish! Do you ship?
Working on it now Thanks
hey sir, can u shipping egg killifish to indonesia? im so intersed
Sorry not breeding them anymore
These kilis are gonna force me to become a member...
Lol
Hi could any one help me I have two green severum.
I bought hoping too get a male an female they are 8 months allmost 9 months can't I tell with all google answer they look just alike I'm feeling i have to same both male or female but I still need to no witch one lol please help if you can sorry about the grammer!
Sorry I'm not the cichlid guy I'm clueless
@@JadrenAquatics np thanks anyways
You might cause a sudden surge in killifish popularity! They are easy to ship too because you ship the moist eggs, not the fish. Probably the most underrated group of fish in the hobby. No, I’ve never had any. Even I am amazed at how good they look swimming around.
Yes the eggs make it much easier but the person would still need to raise them up to get them up to size which would turn away a lot of people m
@@JadrenAquatics still shook. BOO😆BOO
I need a pair.Do you export overseas ?
those are good looking fish, stinks that they dont last long.
strange beauty
strange beauty
strange beauty
I want rachovii bierra
That one's a beauty!
@@JadrenAquatics yeah let me know if you sell any
Lmk
Those are not bivvittatum, those are bitaeniatum
I was teetering on rejoining the AKA but your comment towards the end kinda discourages me.
Aren't the killies endangered in wild
Not all but some are for sure
@@JadrenAquatics Ive tried to grow the rachovii beira from the eggs a few times but I've never got them to grow up but maybe ill try again. New sub❤️
I tried to get killies, us customs destroyed them. I tried again and they arrived, but only a small number hatched, most died. I ended up with two males and four females. one male mysteriously broke his spine, the other vanished. two females died recently, and now I think i still have two lonely little females. don't force things that aren't meant to be, I suppose...
Breeding for profit sounds like a tone of work for not much benefit. Only reason I say that is because there are plenty of people selling fish which is a problem because the best one can expect is often very low prices.
Those S. constanciae look like two males to me.
I have male pro-democracy taiwan 🇹🇼paradise gourami fish named BLUETIGER he will be bred with a female fighter plakat bettafish to make a new generation of paradise fighter fish that will be trained in a muhammad ali self-defense boxing style against the republican southern and northern (studfish) and the republican killifish who are also rivals of my fish.
