Blue Gardneri Killifish
Very peaceful, colorful non-annual species that deposits eggs in spawning media such as plants, mosses, or acrylic yarn mops.
Prolific and hardy, will tolerate a wide range of water parameters and accepts flakes, pellets, frozen and live foods.
Will coexist peacefully with fish of similar size or larger, but can jump (as most killis do) so a tight lid is paramount to ensure they stay IN the tank!

These fish are very colorful and calm. They thrive in a planted tank with moss and small plants. I’ve kept them for over a year and they’re still active and healthy. The only thing to note is that the tank must have a secure lid since they can jump out.

Great addition to a community tank. They don’t stress other fish and are easy to care for. I feed them a mix of flakes and frozen foods daily. They reproduce well and the eggs stick to the moss, which is nice to see.

Highly recommended for beginner aquarists. The Blue Gardneri Killifish are peaceful, hardy, and add a lot of visual appeal. I noticed they’re very active during the day and enjoy the live food I offer.
