Why Fundulopanchax gardneri?

Fundulopanchax gardneri is a standout species in the killifish world thanks to its vivid coloration, peaceful demeanor, and adaptability to aquarium life. Unlike many killifish that live short seasonal lives, this species is long-lived when given proper care, often thriving for 2 to 3 years or more. Originally discovered in forest streams and pools in Nigeria and Cameroon, these fish have captivated aquarists for decades with their elegance and ease of care.

Care Recommendations:

• Tank Size: Minimum 5 gallons for a pair, larger if keeping groups
• Temperature: 72 to 78°F
• pH: 6.0 to 7.5, soft to moderately hard water preferred
• Diet: Micro pellets, frozen foods, live foods (like daphnia or blackworms)
• Behavior: Peaceful, but males can be territorial with each other – best in species tanks or with non-aggressive tank mates
• Habitat: Thrive in planted tanks with hiding spots and low flow

These are young, sub-adult fish, already showing beautiful developing colors and a lot of potential. With time, good food, and clean water, their full adult coloration will emerge, and you'll have a truly dazzling display.

Whether you're a seasoned killifish enthusiast or just getting into these fascinating fish, Fundulopanchax gardneri is an excellent choice for your aquarium. Their brilliant coloration, unique spawning behavior, and manageable size make them a joy to keep and watch grow.
