    I've had a few Golden Wonder Killifish. I lost the first two to jumping, but learned my lesson and now have plastic canvas over every opening. The first one (male) I had was pretty aggressive, but neither of the other two (one male, one female) have been. The current male is housed with black neon tetras, harlequin rasboras, cherry barbs, and peppered corydora catfish. He doesn't pick on any of them, but does sometimes like to hang out in the log at the bottom of the tank, which essentially kicks the others out.

    I also have a Clown Killifish. It's in a planted tank without a top, but with a lot of floating plants. It is not aggressive at all toward the other fish (peacock gudgeon, multi-striped loaches, and emerald dwarf rasboras). I don't know if that's because it's smaller than all the others though.

    All in all, I'd say keeping killifish has been a fun experience. Out of the 4 I've had, only 1 was aggressive. Their mouths are very unique, which is my favorite thing about them. They remind me of hand puppets.

    keeping killifish is a growing passion of mine. i currently keep Aphyosemion australe which is an amazingly orange Lyretail killifish great for a first killifish, they live longer than annuals in the home aquarium (up to potentially 3 year) were some annual killi's only live 12-18 months. i also have a few fish i hatched from egg N. cardinalis Mbwemkuru Riv. KTZ85/28, but all the fish seem to be female and not the vibrant red they are suppose to be, could still be to small for the coloration to come through. and i have unsuccesfully hatched N. Korthos mafia island.

    if you have questions feel free to shoot me a pm.

    I have Fundulo panchax that I got from a member at the GSAS picnic this summer. He said just to put them into a 10g with lots of plant cover and feed them well and they will come! Sure enough the fyr just start showing up. I'm just letting them do their thing. Easy ones to keep and breed.

    I had Fp. Sjoestedi Niger delta, I lost my last batch to jumping. Still not sure how it wriggled out since I have a solid lid.... any who, he was magnificent in color and personality and not that aggressive.

    I won't sell them to you, Kaosu, but would love to trade one-for-one young ones so we can each expand our species stock! How about that? IF that sounds good to you, how about a PM at rondsower@gmail.com?

    cool, what kind of feathered creatures do you have if you dont mind me asking? We have two parrots, and we used to breed and raise them.
