What is Dharma killifish?

darumakillifish_2

The dharma killifish has a small number of backbones and its body length is only about two-thirds or half that of a normal killifish. The dharma killifish has become more popular in recent years.The reason for their popularity is that they are smaller than regular killifish and are not good swimmers, so they look very cute swimming hard. In recent years, with the increase in opportunities to take pictures on social networking sites, the silhouette of the killifish tends to make it a good companion for people to take pictures. This is why female killifish are more popular than male killifish.

Origin of the Dharma killifish

The dharma killifish is classified as one of the older varieties of killifish. Originally, it was one of the individuals that appeared in a certain percentage of the killifish breeding stages. In the past, individuals like the Dharma killifish that did not have the shape of a normal killifish were discarded or otherwise not sold on the market. In recent years, however, the demand for unusual killifish such as the Dharma killifish has been increasing, and producers have come to agree that they want to eliminate the loss of discarded killifish as much as possible.As the distribution volume increased, the demand for different species (variations) has in turn increased. Since then, the number of varieties has been increasing every year, taking advantage of the Dharma killifish's small body size, which is a characteristic of the Dharma killifish. For example, the "vermilion-red Dharma killifish (also known as "first love")," which combines the beautiful red color of the Yang's killifish and the body size of the Dharma killifish, has been created.

About the half-dharma killifish

darumakillifish_3

When you go to a specialty store to buy Dharma killifish, you will always find a killifish called semi-dharma sold next to it. Many people are confused as to what the difference is between the two and which one they should buy. Half-dharma killifish, if you read the name correctly, is half of dharma killifish, but what makes it half is more important.The semi-dharma killifish will be a killifish that is closer to the shape of the normal killifish than the dharma killifish. In other words, it has a shorter body length than regular killifish and a longer body length than dharma killifish.It is a halfway house killifish, but it can be a very important killifish. First, they are often less expensive than dharma killifish. In recent years, the price of killifish has tended to rise year by year due to the increasing demand for killifish, making it a highly recommended killifish for those who would like to breed killifish but are hesitant to do so for financial reasons. For those who want to breed killifish, breeding killifish only with killifish has many problems, such as low spawning numbers and a high probability of unfertilized eggs (eggs that do not hatch), which often make breeding difficult. The large size of the killifish allows them to hold more eggs, which inevitably leads to an increase in the number of eggs laid, and the probability of non-fertile eggs is lower than with killifish alone.

Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers

About Mixed Swimming,Some people often think that killifish can only be kept in the same species, but the real appeal of killifish is in combining them. If you are not particular about this, you can mix any kind of killifish with any other kind of killifish.However, it is best to be careful with killifish of different body types (e.g., Dharma killifish and Hirena killifish). If killifish of different body types are mixed with killifish of normal body type, problems such as inability to eat food may occur. However, there are people who mix killifish of different body types with those of normal body types, so there is no need to be concerned.However, each type of killifish, which is considered a high-end killifish, has its own distinctive appearance and shine, so it is recommended to keep them in a way that allows the enjoyment of each individual (type) rather than keeping them in many different species.

Points about spawning

The point about spawning was explained in the above section that keeping a variety of species is the best part of keeping killifish, and having various species swimming together when spawning will naturally produce killifish with the characteristics of various species. However, that is not always a good thing. For example, mixing red and white killifish can produce pink killifish, but not necessarily red or white killifish, or in the worst case, killifish with a color that is hard to describe. If you want red killifish, you should keep only red killifish because the probability of producing red killifish is much higher,I recommend that you think about what kind of killifish you want when spawning and what color and shape you want your killifish to be born, so that you will have less regret and confusion when raising them and find your own way to enjoy them.If it is just a hobby, I think you will enjoy it more if you stick to the methods that you enjoy, regardless of whether people complain about them. The following page explains the method of spawning and points to note, so please read it as well.

Points to keep in mind when keeping dharma killifish

darumakillifish_4

Dharma killifish are popular among women, but their prices have skyrocketed in recent years. However, even taking this into consideration, there are not many types of killifish that have a distinctive body shape. Therefore, they are very popular among those who have grown tired of regular killifish. Also, by keeping a variety of killifish, it is easy to understand the characteristics of Dharma killifish. However,One thing to keep in mind is that killifish are not good swimmers due to their body characteristics. If you are concerned about this, we recommend that you start keeping killifish in a different container as soon as possible.This is also true for the fry, so be sure to keep an eye on the fry as well. Dharma killifish do not have the same body characteristics as other killifish, which may cause some difficulties, but they are still very attractive, so if you are interested, I encourage you to give them a try. If you are interested, please give it a try. The different shape of the body gives a completely different impression, and you will discover new charms of killifish.
