    I've heard snails eat killifish eggs so ive always avoided snails in my killi tanks, even tho I love having snails in all my other tanks cause I find them extremely useful. Im seeing alot of snails in Jack's tanks tho so maybe I should re-think my strategy!!

    I was recently at a local fish store and they had two male blue gularis killifish. The owner said they should be kept alone due to aggression. I'm not really looking to breed so do you think it would be okay for a male to live alone?

    • @LRBaquatics

      Yeah they can live alone fine. I have kept them in community tanks as well. Just make sure you don’t have anything that can fit in his mouth.
