Killifishes

Killifishes are normally found in Africa, Asia and South America. I said that the family are "Annual fish" meaning that the fish are relatively short-lived. Its typical that they are very attractive and colourful, and they also tend to be aggresive.

Steel-blue Aphyosemion: This fish is a impressive sight. You can blue body colours, with bright red vertical marks. Although I very nice looking fish, it is a very aggresive species.

Rachov's Nothbrand (Nothobranchius rachovi): This is another good looking fish, almost can be mistaken for a tropical marine species. Unfortunately the Rachov's Nothbrands are inclind to be very aggresively.
