I took him to a different store than my SB female went to. The store I sold them to didn't know squat about Faders so I doubt they would be able to breed him.
If its a SB/Bonsai ZZ or a ZZ in general then there is a good chance that it is fertile but I am not sure about Kilins because then you are adding Vieja into the mix. I would think they are more fertile than regular BPs though.RickyOutlaw;4991264; said:
Agree about fertility when adding Vieja, I assume the same.Chrisplosion;4991271; said:
How do you like those Kilins anyways ? I was thinking of grabbing one
I would love some Kilin but I haven't been able to find any. A female one would make a good female for a SB male. Petzone might have some but I would ask for a picture of what they have because the one I got from them was crap mix that wasn't a true Kilin.
hi chris 
. i know this is an old thread but i think you should continue w/ breeding kirin/kilin with a regular fh or sb. I have a female kirin and her tube's down but been weeks for her to lay her eggs. looked to me that you're pair were doing great spawning, but the thin is after the male "fertilized" the eggs, the water temp should be really high. I successfully bred a pair of fh back in college. I took the clay pot with fertilized eggs and put it in a 10 gallon tank, supported it with another clay pot in the bottom so the clay with eggs are very close to the light. the light acted as an incubator. took only 2 days and say black dots inside the eggs, next day tails were wiggling out of the eggs and a day or two, they hatched. i was uber ecited bec. twas my first successful breeding project, BUT the after 2 weeks the fries died because i didnt how what to feed them. back then i didnt know where to get baby brines like always advertised or mentioned on the internet. i was in the Philippines, where the heck would i find baby brines?! so i fed them egg yolk, made water cloudy and i think that's what killed all of them. so, i think it's the water temp. put the eggs next to a warm light, like i said act as an incubator. my dad raises chicks for cock derby fights, and i remember he puts the eggs bear underneath the lights. if you ever do it again, chris, try that trick. gl

Also most experienced breeders leave the eggs/fry with the parents if at all possible. Two to three days is pretty much the average length of time to hatch many cichlids when kept at proper temps. On your next spawn try crumbling flake food very fine to feed your fry, or there are a number of pelleted/powdered fry foods readily available at most pet shops...brine shrimp shouldn't be necessary.hi chris
On a side note, cock fighting is highly illegal in the USA, and frowned upon by most people...you may not win many friends with that little tidbit of information.
