GOLDEN WONDER KILLIFISH

The Golden Wonder Killifish, also known as the Malabar Killifish or Striped Panchax, is a very colorful, relatively undemanding fish that has become incredibly popular among aquarists over the past few years.  Originally a gray-green, striped fish in its native India and Sri Lanka, this fish has been selectively cultivated to develop an incredible iridescent gold and blue-green coloration across most of its body.  While some killifish have a reputation for being difficult to keep, the Golden Wonder Killifish is highly adaptable and makes a great addition to many aquariums. Killifish typically occupy the top level of the water column, although they can often be seen swimming and feeding in the middle and bottom levels as well.  They are also not afraid to jump, so they must be kept in an aquarium with either a lid/hood/canopy or at least a significantly lowered water level.  They will not eat or bother plants, but they are fairly voracious predators of dwarf shrimp and even small fish s
