An ultra-small killifish with black-yellow stripes and distinctive rocket-shaped tail fin.
The clown killifish (Epiplatys annulatus), also known as the banded panchax, is a tiny surface-dwelling killifish native to small streams, ponds, and marshes of Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia in West Africa. At 3–4 cm, it features a pale yellow-green body with black vertical bands and a remarkable rocket-shaped tail fin with blue, red, and orange rays fanning outward — a color combination of exceptional beauty for such a small fish. It is ideally suited to small aquariums (20-cm cube and up) and prefers calm or still water; strong filtration flow should be avoided. Slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.0) at 22–26°C is recommended. Floating plants provide security and serve as anchor points for bubble nests. Diet requires appropriately small foods: powder foods, frozen baby brine shrimp, and daphnia. Breeding is remarkably easy — eggs are deposited in floating plant roots or fine moss, and hatching fry, though tiny, can be raised on infusoria and powdered fry food. An excellent choice for nano setups and botanical aquariums.
