Clown Killifish - 3 Pack
The Clown Killifish (Epiplatys annulatus) is a stunning and colorful addition to any nano aquarium. This miniature freshwater fish is a favorite among hobbyists for its vibrant appearance and manageable size, making it a great choice for smaller tanks.
Often called the clown killi, rocket killifish, or rocket panchax, this fish gets its nicknames from the striking vertical bands of dark brown and yellow on its body and the flame-like tail of the males. While adults can grow up to 1.4 inches (3.5 cm), most sold in stores are juveniles, about 0.5 inches long. Their full spectrum of red, yellow, blue, and orange colors will develop as they mature in your care.
How to Tell Males and Females Apart:
- Tail and Anal Fins: Males have tails that resemble flames, with red or blue accents on their anal fins.
- Ventral Fins: Males feature bright red or orange ventral fins.
- Size: Females are slightly smaller than males.
Selling size typically starts at 1 cm, but with proper care, these fish will grow and display their full, dazzling colors, making them a lively centerpiece in any nano tank!
