| I've seen posts about killies in the other forums so maybe people just haven't noticed this section?

LOL. That would be me. No offense taken. I love killis, but they don't love my other fish. Killies are a royal PITA, not to keep alive, but to keep them from terrorizing their tank mates, especially their own kind. I have a kill that chased 3 other fish out of the tank. 3! Good thing he's prettier than that gourami I had. If a fish is pretty enough, I'll tolerate his murderous ways.
Killies are really cool fish, especially if you want to get into breeding them, as their eggs need to sit in peat for weeks/months before hatching. Too much trouble for me, personally. |

| After hearing how aggressive towards other fish killi's are, maybe that's why people aren't talking about them. Maybe the killi's have all of their owners locked up and keeping them quiet! lol

| I love killies, I just don't have enough room.
Longtyme, what you said about killies keeping their owners loked up reminded me of ths really funny cartoon I read in TFH. The picture is of a cichlid (not a killie but still a fish) standing in the middle of a room and there's a guy walking in the door and the cichlid says "Get out of my house!" and the caption says "Stan eventually realized that cichlids might be a little to agressive."
Sorry to get off the subject, but I had to share.
