OVERVIEW

The Clown Killifish is a very social fish that is also extremely curious. They’ll often swim close to the glass when you walk past the tank to see what’s happening. Their colorful pattern and upbeat demeanor will quickly make them a favorite in your tank. Killifish comes from the Dutch word for channel, which makes sense because they’re found in slow-moving streams and swamps in Africa.

Clown Killifish aren’t too difficult to keep and care for, and their small size makes them an excellent choice for smaller tanks. They’re also predators, and they most likely won’t eat dry food. In most cases, these fish prefer live foods, such as invertebrates.
