Siempre agradecido por sus aportes.
Excellent interview, very inspiring, and it is truly amazing to hear this man so adamant about his passion and taking it to the level he has.
colected on my birthday :)
What size are the aquarium that you used for the killiefishes
most "bigger tanks" are 25-25-20 cm rest is 30x15x15 cm.
At 11:04, when asked his favorite species, it sounds like he said "Livurus", but I'm guessing it was "Rivulus". I think the picture was a species of Rivulus. Is that correct?
already watched this, haven't we?
Great interview. I really enjoyed this video. I respect Fran for all his passion.
This guy rocks an inspiration to us all!
This was a very inspirational interview. Thanks again for bringing it to us!
You made this old man living in pain laugh by saying how you found your killifish fish.
Bless you friend!
He also love discus good information for the aquarium world Merci
amazin stuff
Why do you use 2 different cameras one for the interviewer one for the killifish guy and different lighting and audio?
It was just weird how the questions were recorded separately but were recited like they were said in conversation. IMO it would have been much better to use a text overlay.
Really cool documentary!
Will they eat brine shrimp you hatch at home?
Is Mister Vermeulen, sell his book? Don't find any email adress to write him..
Thanks for your return..
PM.
Yes. I think he's sold out.
This man is very inspirational even if he doesn't know it. Thank you for all of these videos and keep on going. I'd love to see more. I only feel it is right in return to share these video's with as many fellow true hobbyist that I can. Thanks again.
heel mooi Frans leuk om dit bekeken te hebben en jou verhaal te hebben mogen horen
Excellent video. Very informative. Kept done local killifish from Georgetown (Guyana) and they were tremendous fun, barring the times they jumped out of the jars!
Awesome people and viedo!!! I hope you can finish your book, I would love to buy it!
The book is finished and working on the second one! You can get it at mikolji.com/books

I'm going to watch this many more times.
This guy rocks an inspiration to us all!
Really Excellent interview
I'm glad you enjoyed it. He's a legend.
Thank you for sharing..
how will Aphyosemion australe go with Kardinal tetra, ancistrus and gourami? will they get along?
+yudontsay Very bad idea to mix fishes with so different behaviors and having very different ecological needs. The Australe won't survive first, the cardinalis will follow next in the death. The 2 fishes needs soft and acid water, with humic acid, and low light with a temperature of 24° C max. Australe prefer small tanks with no current, a male with 3 females and lots of hiding places. No other fish. They reproduce naturally pretty well in good conditions
Cardinalis prefer medium sized tanks, living in large groups and not stressed if you want beautiful colorfull fishes, for cleaning the cardinalis and small tetras tank corydoras are better and not aggressive.
Far more interesting to have an specialized regional tanks. Ancistrus and gouramis have very different needs from the 2 first.
bedankt frans
thanks.
