Nothobranchius Killifish

Nothobranchius rachovii

AnimaliaChordataActinopterygii

Ask Finn

A brilliantly colored annual killifish from coastal Mozambique, with males displaying stunning red-blue banded scales that rival any tropical fish in intensity; females are a drab brown. As an annual species, it completes its lifecycle in temporary pools — eggs are buried in substrate and can survive dried conditions — making it a fascinating but short-lived (6–12 month lifespan) species for experienced keepers.
