killiguy Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Just restarting this thread in a more appropriate place Thats some nice photos of a nice fish As far as fast growing fish goes this fish (an annual killifish) can grow 10 cm in 6-8 weeks making it one of the fastest growing vertebrates,but also one of the shortest lived. They spend most of their life in peatmoss in a cupboard in my fishroom :blink How long do they live for in an aquarium? I know in the wild they dont last long, but i heard in an aquarium they can last a bit longerThis fish can last 6-8 months if kept very cool.They are very aggressive and cannibalistic and a difficult member of a difficult family.The fish below lasts longer and is peaceful,one of the most colourul freshwater fish.Nothobranchius rachovii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannon Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Wow awesome looking fish. Are they able to be kept in community planted tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiguy Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yes they can go in a planted aquarium.Unfortunately they need hard alkaline water and benefit from salt(to reduce velvet outbreaks)Ive had a N.guentheri in a community tank(by accident) and they lasted for 6 months at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
