263. “Switch Hitter” Spawning Killifish

In this episode, the Water Colors Team gather around the table to talk about “switch hitting” killifish. In other words, killifish that can mop spawn and substrate spawn. They discuss different spawning methods, practices they use at home in their own breeding projects, and why these fish have developed this advantagous adaptation. Come listen to how incubations times differ depending on the method, and decide which method you are going to use next.
