New Fish from Nigeria | Killies, Tetras, Barbs, Ropefish & More!

[@ebinom8112]

The first mystery fish looks to me like an African clipper barb. I had one when I was a kid. Very beautiful fish, especially when sunlight hits its silvery scales.

[@pavilionend8637]

Interesting array of fish, afew ive never seen or heard of

[@graffic13]

This is like the perfect congo biotope stocking

[@jesuscichlidtank]

[@petermotta3975]

Very cool fish!! Thanks for sharing Dan!

[@csharpe5787]

Hi Dan. I live in the UK and I really enjoy watching your content. Even though I've got no chance of getting any of the fish. Keep up the good work.

[@mickem4322]

Hi ! Just want to inform you that I think members in the BKA(Brittish Killifish Assoc.)keep and breed several of the Killis in this video. Contact them if you want to get some of those species!! I bet they will help you out!!?? :D

[@mamag8753]

They look great!

[@amandac9294]

I have all the killifish you showed, i was not aware that they are all from Nigeria. Thank you! I didn't know I had a type.

[@FostaFunk]

When I was a newer hobbyist I had a rope fish in my 120g. They are super awesome peaceful fish. Seeing them again in this video makes me want them again! My little guy was named wormy haha.

[@thefishylife6823]

Try and get hemiodus argenteus? I want some really bad but they are non existent for sale in USA???

[@aquanewgrowig]

Bring it!! Can't wait to see these

[@MarkDrisch]

5 Star Generals, my current love!

[@andreashessler838]

Could you keep the elongatus with other hemichromis. Maybe like Exsul? I've got a group of 8 Exsul that are fully grown and that would make a great centrepiece.

[@shylesh85]

my fav: rope fish and leaf fish

[@edmundo4511]

Nice fishes! I guess, the barb with the spot on the dorsal fin is Enteromius callipterus, and the second barb seems to be Enteromius bifrenatus.

[@tonydanford4720]

Would you be able to get chindongo saulosi? Looking to get a breeding colony in my 75 gallon.

[@m72e592863]

Nice update.

[@Crystalspets]

Wow Dan you have a bunch of really cool collection of fishes

[@r.b.animalsandmovies4186]

Kool video Dan

[@peepslostsheep]

Do those mystery fish (the first batch you showed with two different ones in the tank) have a blue sheen on them, or was that just the lighting?

[@irsmert]

Cool group of new fish!

[@TMAquatics]

Great variety Dan. So many interesting species rarely seen in the hobby.

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

That's a great variety of fish, thanks for sharing.

[@MrCtenopoma]

Great video, Dan! Very impressive collection of Nigerian fish! I have some of the species in my tanks as well. The first mystery barb could be Enteromius callipterus - the Clipper barb. Not sure though, but I think it is. The mystery tetra looks like Rhabdalestes septentrionalis. They live together with Alestopetersius smykalai in nature. Male R. septentrionalis have a very unique shaped anal fin, which is easy to distinguish. Couldn't recognize it on your video because of the reflections, so just checkout some pictures on the internet and compare it to your fish! Would love to see the Synodontis you mentioned.

[@glosfishgb6267]

Oreichthys parvus maybe ?

[@rjv2395]

how do you sex the knife fish? any info on breeding?

[@kindallnight1615]

Omg cool though i am more into wild bettas i do appreciate fish that are simple but unique. Amazing vid

[@gkarlton1157]

Those mystery tetras might be Nigerian yellow line tetras.

[@MarvelousGap]

I have a baby whale and I can't het it to eat anything. She told me it eats flakes and regular food, but nope. I've tried blood worms and seen it eat one in 3 weeks. I put brine shrimp in and it takes it but spits it out and idk what to do. Its literally getting skinny before my eyes and she won't take it back. Do you ha e any insight on caring for them please. Or anyone who reads this.

[@DansFish]

Sorry to hear your fish is struggling. I would try black worms. If the fish will eat anything, it will be black worms. If it doesn't eat black worms, the it is likely that it has an illness of some sort. Also, they need lots of cover and hiding places. If they don't have it, they may feel too stressed to eat.

[@MarvelousGap]

@@DansFish thank you I'll try the black worms. He has a huge decorative log type thing in there and stays in there besides when I put food in there. Thank you so much for responding.

[@TuanCaCanh]

Wow

[@dominicborrelli6625]

Ya i love my ropefish. Hes super peaceful HOWEVER he has eaten a few of my guppies😂 but thats not the end of the world haha

[@jmills151]

One day I wish I can get a ropefish

[@maxiculture]

Gracilis means slender, gracile, good name for a skinny little fish.

[@jimnw]

Want a tip to improve your videos? Get a lightweight stand with an arm& hang a black cloth from it. Place it behind you & all those reflections with be gone. If soneone is visiting when you shoot, ask them to relocate it for you when you move.

[@CaylorsReptilesAquatics]

Nice 👍🏼

[@chevyfish4028]

Nice shipment. Thanks for all you do to bring us healthy, off the beaten path fish.
