Chromaphyosemion biateniatum 
Non-Annuals
Non-annual killifish are those whose eggs have relatively short incubation period. Approxiamately 10 to 14 days of water incubation - this is of course temperature related.
Non-annual eggs can also be incubated over damp peatmoss. This will increase the incubation period by some weeks but the risk of viabile eggs fungusing is reduced. Also by peat incubating wholeweeks egg collection can be incubated together and when put in water (after the last egg to be collected has a bright eye ring!) the whole lot can hatch around the same time, making feeding and raising easier.
Most non-annual killifish can be bred as pairs or trios (1M 2F). A typical breeding tank has a bare bottom, an air driven sponge filter, floating and sinking mops as spawning sites and maybe a few broad leaved plants to provide security for skittish species.
For most species providing both sinking and floating mops is an advantage. When checking for the mops for eggs it is best if the mop is allowed to drip dry for 10 minutes or so. Eggs are more visible against slightly damp wool. It is much harder to see the eggs in mops that are soaking wet.
