Description
Aphyosemion elegans Kinshasa. Natural Range: Congo River Basin Source: Harvested from Nature Estimated size at shipping: 0.75-1.5" Adult Size: around 1.5-2" Overview: These are wild killifish so their fins might be a bit rough. They are healthy and the damage is only cosmetic and is likely to heal given time. Some of the prettiest fish on the planet are killifish. This diverse group is sometimes referred to as the "egg-laying tooth carps" in order to distinguish them from their close relatives, the livebearers. In many ways, a killifish is a livebearer that lays eggs. The non-annual species generally live as long as your typical livebearers. The annual species typically last 12-18 months. Like their livebearer relatives, most killies are easy to keep and feed. They are also famously hardy. Setup Considerations: Killifi. Source: Dan's Fish stock list.
