Calling it a Lineatus is not that much of an assumption, He says it was European or Asian. He says it was Yellow, which really narrows it down (the only other one I can think of is Fundulus Chrysotus or maybe Fundulopanchax Fallax but the chances of them being in a LFS, practically none), Lineatus are commercially bred and stocked by almost every fish store in the country. Therefore I am 99.99% certain that it is one. This fish along with MOST other killis are not annuals and the eggs do not take drying very well. Try drying up some Fundulus eggs, they will not take it well. Even most aphysosemion eggs do not take being put on peat veyr well, the only ones that do it well are the nothobranchius and the various annual south americans, both of which are highly outnumbered by their nonannual counterparts.
I think a ten gallon is perfectly fine, I have kept and bred this fish and a couple other large killis in ten gallon tanks without any trouble at all, except their propensity to jump.
