Description
Golden Panchax hail from Sri Lanka and southern India and grow to around 4cm in length. These diminutive surface dwellers are a delight in a species or community tank, with males showing attractive golden and greenish hues that shimmer in the light.
Special requirements: As dedicated surface hunters, Golden Panchax appreciate floating plants and some surface cover to make them feel secure. A tight-fitting lid is strongly recommended, like most killifish-relatives, they are capable of finding even the smallest gap. They are generally peaceful, though males may squabble with one another, so provide plenty of visual breaks in the planting. As opportunistic surface predators, they will take newly-hatched fry, dwarf shrimp and any fish small enough to fit in their mouth, so choose tank mates that are too large to be eaten.
Diet: Golden Panchax are carnivores. At Wirral Aquatics we feed ours EBO Pro Soft Artemia, insect meal, Mussell and seafood. They also enjoy live food such as 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 we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
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.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
