I'm not sure what he/she meant but is there any way I can tell? Oh, and if someone can tell me how much they usually run for, that'd be great. Btw,the fish I want to get looks like this:

Annuals are short lived and their eggs have to be dried out for sometimes longs periods of time in order to hatch. You don't have to worry about that if you are getting Australe.

I recently purchased 2 pr of Orange Australe from Tony Terceira. He had them listed on AB for $16 for 2 pairs. His user id is Tdbettasand. He keeps lots of killies so he may have some chocolates. Of course, I'm sure some folks on here might have some available too

I know where to get them, I don't have a problem with that..so what they would be like $8 seprate(for just one)? Anyway, thanks for all your advice.

If you know where to get them, why can't you just ask how much they are?

Ermm $16 for 2 pairs... would be $8 for 1 PAIR

Lol, sorry, I mis-understood her. I thought she meant 1 pair as in two for $16 dollars. So then what, like $4 for one? And I didn't ask them cause I can't get in touch with the guy

Aloha,

I have pairs of the fish you are interested in. I sell them as pairs, they don't live for that long, no killifish do(relatively speaking). Under ideal conditions you can expect them to live for 2-3 years on average. The fish I have are Aphyosemion australe Cape Est'erias if you are interested, email me.

I like the picture at the top. That is a cool fish. I wish I had a pair, but that would require a cycled tank which i dont have right now.
