Nothobranchius Guentheri Killifish 3cm

Overview: The Nothobranchius Guentheri, commonly known as the Guenther’s Killifish, is a vibrant and captivating species that adds a splash of color to any freshwater aquarium. These small, yet striking fish are known for their vivid hues and dynamic behavior, making them a popular choice among aquarists seeking to enhance the visual appeal of their tanks.

Origin: This species originates from East Africa, where it is found in temporary pools, swamps, and streams. Their habitat’s ephemeral nature has endowed them with a unique life cycle and breeding strategy adapted to their changing environment.

Feeding: Nothobranchius Guentheri are not particularly fussy eaters and will accept a variety of foods. However, they thrive on a diet rich in live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. High-quality flake foods can also be used to supplement their diet and ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients.

Tank Mates: Choosing the right tank mates for Nothobranchius Guentheri is crucial due to their size and temperament. They are best housed with other peaceful, small fish species to prevent any potential aggression. Avoid keeping them with large or overly aggressive fish that may bully or harm them.

Aggression: Generally peaceful, Nothobranchius Guentheri can show territorial behavior towards their own kind, especially males. It’s advisable to maintain a spacious tank or keep them in a species-specific setup to minimize conflicts.

Experience Level: These killifish are suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Their specific requirements regarding breeding and the management of water parameters can pose a challenge to beginners.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 22-26°C (72-79°F)
  • pH: 6.0-7.5
  • Hardness: Soft to medium

Maintaining stable water conditions is essential for the health of Nothobranchius Guentheri. Regular water changes and monitoring of water quality help ensure a thriving environment for these exquisite fish.
