Overview
What to know before you buy.
The Clown Killifish, or Rocket Killi, is a tiny, surface-dwelling fish with a striking pattern of black and yellow vertical bands and a blue, flame-like tail in males. They are perfect for nano planted tanks and should be kept in small groups. They require tiny, live, or frozen foods due to their small mouths.
Key traits
Care guide
Keeping Clown Killifish healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
Size the aquarium to Clown Killifish's adult size and activity level. Provide hiding spots and stable, well-filtered water; it suits a community setup.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6–7.2 and 23–26°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Feeding
Carnivore. Feed small amounts it clears in a couple of minutes, and vary the diet.
Behaviour
Peaceful. Keep it in a group for natural behaviour.
Tankmates
Choose tankmates of similar size and temperament with the same water needs. Avoid fin-nippers and anything large enough to eat it.
Breeding
Breeding success with Clown Killifish depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
