Description:

Bring the beauty of West African streams to your aquarium with the stunning Aphyosemion striatum. Renowned for their vibrant coloration and graceful finnage, mature males develop an iridescent blue-green body highlighted by brilliant red horizontal striping and elegant lyre-shaped tails, making them a true centerpiece in any planted aquarium. Females display more subtle coloration, creating a striking natural contrast.

This peaceful, non-annual killifish thrives in densely planted aquariums with gentle filtration and appreciates floating plants and subdued lighting, which help showcase its spectacular colors. Their calm temperament makes them an excellent choice for quiet community aquariums with similarly sized, non-aggressive tankmates, though they are equally impressive in a dedicated species aquarium.

Aphyosemion striatum is also highly prized by breeding enthusiasts. These fish readily spawn in spawning mops or fine-leaved plants, and observing the males’ elaborate courtship displays is one of the most rewarding aspects of keeping this species. Their manageable care requirements make them an outstanding introduction to the fascinating world of killifish.

Our Aphyosemion striatum are carefully raised in captivity, resulting in healthy, well-acclimated fish that are ready to thrive in their new home.
