I had a pair of Epiplatys roloffi ( a red African killifish) that nine out
of ten eggs hatched into two headed fry. The both heads were equal in size,
and perfectly mounted to one rear half of a body. Kind of looked like this
(Y). I never tried to grow them out, and that was the end of that pair ever
producing young, in case it was genetic. They lived quite a while, but I
never kept the normal young aroud either. That could have been inbreeding,
since I raised them from eggs, and it is possible they were brother and
sister. Their parents may have been as well. Who knows.
