Introduction

Welcome to my personal webpages dedicated to the world of killifish. Within this site you will find out a little about me, my killifish aquariums and my sales listings. I have also included a beginners guide to Killifish husbandry and other various aspects that I hope you will view and enjoy.

Some folks new to this hobby of ours will at some point come across a picture of a highly coloured fish sparkling with hues of metallic blue and green subfused with yellows and reds, they will be agast at how such fish can posess such an array of colouration and would one day think of how do I get my hands on something like that.
Then they would see the word Killi, and this is where they loose interest thinking of only the latter day meaning and the verb to kill. Nothing could be farther from the truth so I will attempt within these webpages to give the novice some kind of insight into this fabulous and interesting side of the hobby.

Yet another long standing brand name in the world of fishkeeping. A company started by Gunter Eheim way back in 1949 has progressed by way of inventing all maner of technological innovative products for todays demandind aquarists.

Orgin of the name Killifish
