Hi,
A very happy Ugadi, Gudi Padwa and Sansar Padvo to you all.
After a long long time, Finally today my fish room was activated.
Thanks to a lot of people for their help and Inputs without which this journey would not have been possible. Every step has been documented and will properly acknowledge the help by individuals in different sections.
Regards,
Nayak. |

Happy Sansar Padvo to you too, Nayak.
I guess everyone held their nerves awaiting your fish room journey documentation so far.
Really can't wait to read your top-notch writing skills.  |

Aplocheilus blockii
Will be edited............
Distribution- Parts of Deccan Plateau in Karnataka and Western Ghats.
Sexual Dimorphism- Not much. When the male displays he will have a black marking near his eyes. Otherwise the male and female appear same.
Feed- Carnivorous
Mating season- Anytime.
Hardiness- Survived and bred in my outdoor tank with Puntius Sahyadrensis as tank mates for the past one and a half years. 30% water change every 10 days or 50% every 15 days.
Feed- Dried brine shrimp flakes, Shrimp feed from Kumta and edible anything that tried to breed in my Balcony tanks.
Personal observation- When catching the fishes in my aquariums it was easy with the females and Juvies. What surprised me was when I had caught his harem the Alpha male almost voluntarily gave himself up. Is this some thing like a fish showing responsibility, that too a Aplocheilus? I have seen in the wild A. Lineatus defend its family as would a wild alpha horse in defending it's harem. Have to check with two separately caught groups of A. blockii.
Male
Female
Regards,
Nayak. |

Congrats Nayak. Will wait eagerly for the updates. Starting the thread with a native, beautiful Killi...nothing like it. Just one thing, thought I saw some of these in the Eastern parts of India or may be some other subspecies?
