Bivittatum?
I recently got 2 pair of Bivittatum from Bert...nice fish!

In searching for information I came across this site

www.killifish.f9.co.uk/Killifish/Killifish%20Website/Index.htm

The fish I have look more like A. Bitaeniatum shown on this site as they have a lot of orange in their colour.

Does anyone have Bivittatum similar to those shown in this web site???

RE the origin of the fish I got from Pet City, I not sure they came from Bay Fish, they were sold as WILD Caught.

Fair enough Bert....That could be my assumption given when Pet City have killies....they are always the same as is on the Bay fish list ????
They could have come from another supplier ??

Re: Bivittatum?
Hi guys, I'm from Singapore, new here to this board and am a member of the killie group in Singapore.

I keep bitaeniatum "Ijebu Ode" and they have flowing orange fins. At times both the bitaeniatum and bivittatum can be easily confused.

Bitaeniatum has two lines almost parallel that run the length of the body from the tip of head to the base of the caudal fin.

Bivittatum has also two lines of which one the upper one deviates to the top and creates some sort of a v-pattern instead of two parallel lines.

Populations of both species can also be easily told apart from each other by means of colour and pattern. They were once considered subspecies of bivittatum but now have been split into several species. :)

Hi all,

The biateniatum we have in Canberra looks like this:




Don't know if it looks like what you guys have.

Cheers,

Re: Bivittatum?
Colour pattern of the fish I have is very similar....but they are more mature and have much longer finnage.

Anyone have a different variety???

Re: Bivittatum?
Finally took some pics of my bivittatum. This is a young male :





excuse the focus. I was using a work camera with a fixed focal length of about 5cm 8o

You can't see it on this pocture but the top line does rise into a bit of a "V". Maybe they are bivittatum.

Ooooo ;)

If you look at my doggy photo

mine has blue on the anal fin

Dean yours definetely has orange or red (can't tell from the photo!) on the anal fin.

So whatever they are they are different fish!

Therefore :eek I want some :rollin when you breed a few or anybody else who has the same fish. Please :p
