One of my favorite fish It is a bluefin notho killifish. They look awesome but are sadly hard to find.

Can you tell me more about them? Like pros and cons from your experience with them?

Beautiful fish but very short lived. I think it is something like a year tops if I remember correctly. There was a great article on them in Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine a couple months ago.

They're killifish from africa I believe. They are peaceful and can live for over a year in proper conditions.

Thats a nothos killifish


Im not sure about them or their full name other than that they have a short life cycle of about 1 year


I hear you can keep a few in a 10 gallon because of their docile behavior and small size

 

[JumperGirl117]

Anyone know how fast they breed then since their life cycle is so short?

 

[DeathclawRowe1]

Are there any killifish like them that live a few years?

 

[BLUElobster99]

Nope....

 

[Aquatic_Adam]

Yes.
