KillifishCare

The most difficult part of killifish care is maintaining a subtle balance of low water flow and cleanliness. If you do not use a filter, make a 50% water change every few days. If you are using a filter, spread the flow with a garnish or plant in front of the filter. With or without a filter, make sure you have plenty of plants on hand to absorb harmful ammonia and nitrates. Floating plants serve more properly to help keep your tank clean. Clown killi love to swim through floating plants leaves and rely on them to reproduce because they act as spawning mats.

If water conditions are compromised at any time, the chances of fish diseases will increase. Although clown killifish are very hardy, they are very small, so you may want to be careful in looking for signs of illness or disease.

Food and feeding

Killifish can be a bit picky about which foods they will accept. Most will accept quality flake or small granules but they do need live or frozen foods in the form of blood worms, grindal worms and black worms.

The expected life span for Splendid killifish is 3-5 years.

Breeding

Add spawning mops or Java moss to the tank and these will be used for the eggs to be deposited on. Once spawning is complete, the medium can be moved to either another tank or a small container. The medium is placed on a layer of peat and when the eyes of the fry are visible the eggs are placed back into water for hatching.
