I can see myself getting hooked on these awesome little fish...I'm researching breeding techniques, habitats and much much more.

Why don't you try to get the eggs and hatch them

[@sassilou]

Have you thought about purple emperor tetra?

[@BugmanMCPE]

Just so you know it’s pronounced (liar-tail)

[@gottobekidingme]

yes please look in to raising the eggs :D, i was gonna give it try too just cant pick out what type to go with

[@simpleclips7341]

I really like Killy fish but they are agrssive

[@Sad_cup_of_tea_]

7:31 That plant there is just hanging on by a single root XD

[@AquaViva1]

I keep killies they are awesome, and whats even better is that they do NOT only live one year! The annual killifish do, the ones u and I have can live up to 5! I have gardneri killies and have bred them, you can leave the eggs in water and they will hatch faster than if you take them and put them on peat moss

[@MDFishTanks]

YES!!!!! That's awesome! :D

[@westwingaero]

you are right about that, this type can live for a few years. I have Gardneri and the biggest is at least 5cm long. and that's a good few years of growth

[@jeanmck1577]

I started with killis by getting eggs. Now I'm hooked.

[@drewsample9610]

I added a pair of Gardener Killi to my community tank a few months ago. In the fist month I did not see them. When I did start seeing them again they had nearly doubled in size! Great Fish :D

[@plantsfishtanks6885]

your killifish will live around 3 years, only annual species live - shortest - 3 months and longest around 1.5 years. close every little hole with sponges, they are great jumpers. I'm breeding killifish since 25 years now, if you need any help then msg me

[@tinyt6330]

Do they prefer slower moving water?

[@shishir1395]

Yes even for some species spongefillter is also very harmful I see

@@tinyt6330 yes, depending on the species (there exists hundreds of killifish species), but most of them live in slow running streams or little tiny ponds.

You should do a video where your son does a build!! Let him pick the substrate, plants, aquascape, & fish!! That would be so cute & I would love to see what inspiration he’s gotten from his dad! 🥰

you're like a kid in a candy store, LOL..that's so awesome. Totally enjoy it. HOpe you never lose that enthusiasm.

[@L0GANTP]

I havent kept tanks in a while, but watching your vids is sparking my interest in it again. I've been harassing you for Timmy content, well I couldn't wait any longer, so I bought a musk turtle of my own, I'm working on setting up a riparium/paludarium style tank in a 75 gallon for the turtle.

Yes!! Yes MD! I've been waiting for this day. So glad you this excited about them, means lots of videos about my favourite fish. Oh happy days lol

"I do not wanna spoil the surprise"... Killifish in the thumbnail; typical MD;)

[@nayanmistry4641]

The australe killifish are awesome, there are 2 other colour forms I think, chocolate being one of them. They do live longer than 1 year as they are not annual killi's. Clown killifish looks cool too, like little rockets lol. Nice set up BTW 👍

[@plantsfishtanks6885]

Aphyosemion australe live around 3 years, there are several populations, breeding forms are chocolate, orange, orange spotless

He did. I think. I don’t think he kept it tho. They are awesome though. The problem is something as small as a 10 gallon nano, equipment would be like $500, and make $30.0 for corals and fish. Expensive, but AWESOME.

I wonder if Zebra Danios and White Cloud Minnows can go with Goldfish?

[@olestapelfeld2351]

^Yeeesssssss, cooooool! So glad you are killifested as well now! I also keep various kinds of killifish! If you want a rainbow-coloured one that is easy for breeding, try Aphyosemion striatum... Kind regards from Germany

I had one single killifish in a community tank when I was like 18-19, and that fish and a single guppy outlived everyone! I had those 2 for years upon years and I couldn’t believe how big they both got from living that long. It was insane! Everyone always asked me if they were a rare giant strain or something, I was like nope they just shouldn’t be alive still at this point lol.

[@charligc8904]

Just get a green mop head or make them out of dark wool and they should breed straight away, just pop a little drill hole in the lid and use a piece of the mop or wool to tie a not in so it stays hanging and remove the eggs daily then place in a dry box with some peat soil till your ready to hatch them but its a good idea to produce your own Brine ship before hatching the eggs Xx

[@cathyfrankland9158]

You say that the little tanks aren't scaped yet, but I think that they look GREAT! Just a thought, but could you keep these tanks as they are and use them as feature tanks for specific fish, before moving them onto bigger more planted/scaped tanks? Then you would be focusing more on the actual fish - their personalities, like/dislikes and breeding, rather than having a big setup and more permanent display. Maybe you could work with local fish shops to take featured fish and then return them for others after a month??

[@cooliipie]

They look great. I love unique fish
