I've kept and bred some Fundulopanchax and Nothobranchius species, and found the first easy and fantastically colourful fish to keep. The Fundulopanchax were not annuals , the Nothobranchius were, but had amazingly rich colours. Both dealt with pretty small tanks very well.
I'msurprised they're not more popular. I see them now and again as some killi specialists deal locally thro' word of mouth and auctions. One of the best tanks I had was a big, wide, 10 litre bowl in whuch I kept a pair of Fundulopanchax gardnieri blue. Filtration was java moss and a couple of litres water change once or twice a week, I had a 25 watt heater, and lighting was by keeping iton a windowsill. it looked grat and it also had a few fry to pull out and pass on. |
