For a month of hatching eggs Nothobranchius korthausae red, fish of the family of Killi , I find myself with a dozen young specimens about 2 cm long. and in good condition. Bely Sliders there were already a few to hatch ... and those few have died in the first 2 weeks.
Approximately half of the colors has already clearly visible from a couple of days, so yesterday I transferred them from the pan of growth of 4 liters aquarium LAC from just under 40 liters, while keeping the filter off, temperature at 25 °, lights on for 6 hours a day and I will change by 20-30% a couple of times a week.

Theoretically should be more red, the body should be colored more or less like fins, perhaps a little 'less, now in vice is still gray with shades of blue. The fins are instead already reddish with the edge of that ventral visibly clear. Not quite as white as the photos ... but close.

As soon as I saw it ... I pulled out the small Canon and away the first dozen pictures Austrolebias Nigripinnis the little boy!
From the egg to 'colored adult, my first real satisfaction with the Killi!

I hatched the eggs of Killi February 24th , so I spent a little less than two months and you can clearly see the blue-purple streaks on the fins and gills and sulel some reflection on the body almost bluish black.

After toying with the idea of ​​a nice weekend dedicated to aquariums in that of Ferrara, jewel of a city where everyone goes around by bike, you have created all the right conditions to bring up his son and wife, have organized 3 overnight stays by relatives on the spot ... very kind of work commitments have destroyed everything.

The Congress and AIG AIK did not see me as a participant in it ... "killofilo" it as a spectator, as a buyer of the auction will end.
The only possibility would be to go TO ONLY on Sunday from morning to night ... as even the friends of the CIR were all involved with the AIC conference (but I say ... to aquarists there are very few events in a year ... and make 2 so important in the same weekend?? But crazy stuff ...)

So nothing done ... nice Sunday at Villa Pamphili, a few changes of water, a lot 'of frozen food, some pruning in' large aquarium and this weekend is spent. Too bad, hopefully in 2009.
