Redtail Turquoise Notho Killifish

Redtail Turquoise Notho Killifish is a colorful annual-type Nothobranchius killifish. Mature males show stronger colors than females, and individuals have a naturally shorter life cycle than many common aquarium fish.

Aquarium and care

Use a mature species-focused aquarium with gentle filtration, plants, shaded refuge, and a secure lid. Maintain stable clean freshwater and confirm the supplied population's conditions for breeding. Provide cover for females and enough space to reduce male conflict.

Feeding

Offer small live or frozen foods such as appropriately sized brine shrimp, daphnia, and other aquatic foods. Acceptance of dry foods varies, so check actual feeding and avoid leaving uneaten food.

Temperament and tank mates

Small peaceful companions may work, but aggressive fish and competing males need caution. Annual killifish breeding involves collecting eggs and managing a species-dependent dry incubation period; do not assume ordinary community spawning will produce fry.
