|  Golden Wonder Killi Wondering if anyone keeps them or has information. I've done some research, but found lots of conflicting info. Do they like soft, acidic water? And are they aggressive to other fish? Some sites say yes, others peaceful. They sell them at a lfs near me and everytime I go I find myself lingering near their tank...............

| I tried that, it didn't really help......(unless I'm doing something wrong) there were only 2 types listed and neither were Golden Wonder. I found some of my answers here though http://www.killi.co.uk/SpeciesDetails.php?ID=145 I was wondering if other people on this forum have kept them. Since they like soft acidic water I was thinking of getting them for my 37gal

| I have kept them up until just ercently whenmy last one lept to this dry crusty demise. These are really beautiful fish, even in hard water like I kept them in. My only suggestion concerning tehse fish are to either keep groups of males with no females, or keep a single male with several females. Males do fight with each other, and my dominant male even tried to eat my otos and shrimp.

| Well I got 3 golden wonders for my 37 cube on Monday. It took a few days before they got comfortable and started to show their personality, but now they are really cool. It's fun to watch them eat. They seem to be getting along fine with everyone else so far.

| Golden Wonder Killi sex How do you tell if the Golden Wonder Killi is male or female? I saw some information saying not to keep males together, but only after I had bought 2 of these beauties. I have one that is a true gold and one that is more white. |

| Males are larger and more colorful and have elongated fins. I think I ended up with 3 males as they all are brightly colored and look exactly the same. I may have a recipe for disaster since I've had to move them into a 10gal as my 37gal now houses 3 F8 puffers. I really like them and my plan is to get a bigger tank down the road - they seem ok for now, no aggression toward each other, but one did eat a guppy. They don't bother the other fish they are with either. I have double filtration on this tank since I had an extra filter laying around. Is anyone going to tell me this is a seriously bad idea?

| Actually Limi, they should have been fine with your F8's. Mine are in the tank with my GSP and they all get along with each other. My killies stay mostly at the top of the tank and my GSP swims the rest of it, havent had any fin nipping incidents yet or any other kinds of mishaps

Also - most of the things I've read on the internet say they like soft water - Brackish is OK? My F8 tank isn't technically brackish yet, but will be.
