Clown Killifish Rocket Fish 1cm

The Clown Killifish (Epiplatys annulatus), also known as the Rocket Killifish, is a stunning nano fish from the rainforest streams of West Africa. Males display vivid vertical black and yellow banding on the body with a spectacular lyre-shaped tail in red, blue, and orange — a remarkable colour display for such a tiny fish. They are surface-dwelling fish that thrive in calm, well-planted nano aquariums.
