Sainthouse's Killifish

The plastic box contains peat. These annual killifish bury their eggs in the peat. The box will be removed and replaced with a fresh box after a few days. The peat will be allowed to dry out and then left for several months while the eggs develope. The fry will hatch in a few hours when the peat is placed in water again.
