This species is also known as Gunther’s Killifish, Redtail Notho, and Guenther’s Killifish. A beautiful fish which is distinguished by its vividly bright colors and eye catching appearance.
Guentheri’s Killifish have a habit of nipping the fins of other fish, they are best kept as a group of males only or with other hardy fast swimming varieties if the aquarium is large enough with available hiding spots and decorations.
This beautiful Killifish may require a lid to keep them safe from jumping, they also prefer alkaline water conditions and can be sensitive when pH drops to lower levels, our Discus.ae stocks are acclimated to neutral water conditions (pH 7.0) and it is recommended to add salt to boost their immunity and protect them from velvet.
