Hi All,

Just an FYI that we have a national fish convention in the Northwest the weekend. The American Killifish Assn (AKA) is having their convention starting Friday and ending Monday but pretty much the good stuff is Saturday and Sunday. If you haven't been to a national convention you should check it out....I'm going!

Hi lloyd378,

That is a picture of the classic Aphyosemion australe; I'm not sure of the life expectancy of this species but there are species of killifish that are 'annuals' - even less if they jump! lol

Would love to attend. Picking up my 1st Killifish next week and would be fabulous to learn more and see different species. Perhaps next time, this weekend we have high school state track near Spokane.

GO WARRIORS!

just noticed I forgot to post some shots of the event. I also have more shots of the fish from the big camera but havent uploaded those yet.

There were some serious bidding going on at this auction. These folks do not mess around.

Don't know anything about them! They sure look like they'd make some tasty treats for my Fasciatus: Just Teasing! Very nice looking fish! Wish I could go!
