Description
Clown Killifish hail from the swamps of West Africa. Growin up to 3cm in length, these freshwater nano fish are favoured for their distinctive bands of black and yellow running vertically down their bodies.
Clown Killifish are a social, shoaling fish and as such should be kept in groups of six or more to overcome shyness within the aquarium. Kep at least two females to each males to reduce male squabbling within the aquarium and to encourage fullcolouration in the makes as they’show off’.
Consider lots of live plants within your aquarium, these will provide cover and help them feel more secure, in turn, reducing shyness. To mimic heir natural environment, consider floating plants and a dark substrate to help your Clown Killifish to thrive.
Clown Killifish are mini predators and prefer live foods. At Wirral Aquatics we feed live and frozen daphnia and baby brine shrimp.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging.

If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
