Hello Adriaan: My name is David.. Welcome to our site. I hope you find many interesting articles to read here, and sometimes different killie breeders use different ideas for the same outcome. Our group is very freindly, and always willing to help with ideas, and although I am a very novice grower, I have been learning from some of the best killie breeders in the USA. Some of our members have been in killies for a very long time, and this means lots of information to share. I only have been keeping killies myself for about 2+ years now.. I have about 25 aquariums.. mostly 10 gallon size (aprox 37 litres.) I keep parent fish in a heavily planted aquarium, and sometimes, I move babies to a smaller tank... I now have about 10 differnt varieties, mostly aphys... Welcome again and please feel free to share photos.. This is a new site, and we will have more pictures as time goes on...

Adrian I only had to read though the forum to see your post. How are the aphs doing for you?
Something about working in the fishroom that it does not seem like work. I also keep plants with my killies and other fish. I think the fish are healthier with a heavy plant load.
thanks for your replay. tey are do nothing because i lost all my fish door sick . i don,t no, how it can happend that i have all my tanks infected with something what i don,t no. i have all my tanks planted and i breed them on the natural way.and when i see fries i put them in another tank for groing up .that,s my breeding setup .
but you can breeding with mop and java mos or longfiber peat what you will, there are many ways to succes. best regards ad
