- Quite possibly the first killifish most people get thanks to their small size and ease of keeping, the Gardner's killifish, also known as the steel blue killifish, is eternally popular for a small to medium sized aquarium.
My favourite fishy stuff! (yes these are affiliate links :) )
Lights
Nicrew Classic LED - amzn.to/3fG3Uv6 - Traditional led light that's got a nice high output in a white/cool colour range. Makes plants look extra green.
Nicrew SKY - amzn.to/3Ktn45U - really nice light for natural looking tanks, also the one I use for filming.
Filters
Pat Mini - amzn.to/3fE1u0k - popular for a reason, just a superb little filter thats great for shrimp tanks and fish alike.
ASAP - amzn.to/3nBuytp - the old favourite and the one i return to most frequently.
Air Pump
AP-3 Kit : amzn.to/34UMA3q - Great little air pump, not a silent runner, but has been very reliable for me.
Tanks
Scaper 45 - amzn.to/3KBxG2H - a lovely high quality tank that comes with a super strong light, and a decent enough hang on back filter - perfect for newbies and scapers alike.
My filming stuff
Camera - Cannon 200D - amzn.to/354OLlc - nice camera, easy to use.
BigTripod - Manfrotto befree - amzn.to/3GLXDdj - pricey but super sturdy and can take being knocked over a lot by clumsy operators.
Lil' tripod - amzn.to/355WmQs - can't pronounce the name but it's been a good tripod for filming things on tables or when I have tanks on the floor.

I just wanted to say I've watched all of your videos now and you've really helped give me confidence to slowly introduce small, peaceful fish (and shrimp!) into my tank, thankyouuu
One of the most beautful fish in the hobby!
Another amazing video as well! Thank you!
Another great video. Keep them coming
Thanks for another lovely and informative video on this beautiful fish. 😊
Excellant showing of this beautiful species of killifish🙂👍🏻
Lovely!
Wonderful video! I've never kept this species but I would love to in the future. Thanks for all the information!
Excellent Fundulopanchax gardneri nigerianus Makurdi. My very nice fish. Like. I wish you new success.
Nice to hear your voice again...
If you have the time, can you do a video of the Bumblebee Goby ?
Thank you...
I'd love that as well!
I kept 10 are they particularly hostile toward each other?? Mine got some of it’s head scales gone, I assume from them nipping on each other?
Thank you for highlighting killifish! Killifish of west africa in particular are my favourite fish in the hobby and I never cared much about breeding fish until I was introduced to these little charmers. I want more people to fall in love with them! These are truly a fish where distinct personalities are noticeable :) I still don't understand why these are not more common in the hobby!
For those who can't find them in stores, let it be known their eggs might be available to you -- many killifish species, including this one, have evolved to produce eggs that exist (if not anticipate) existing in dry conditions for a prolonged period of time, thus enabling shipment of eggs in peat or what have you. I found the fry for killis I've RAISED (both aphyeosemion genus -- haven't had a blue lyretail/fundulopanchax gardneri yet) to be pickier as fry than as adults but ymmv of course
That’s something I’m definitely going to try soon as I’ve seen some sellers on eBay offering killi eggs in peat… just need to pluck up the courage and risk buying a bag of dirt 😅
I just got some, I was wondering if I can keep them with neocaradina shrimp or even caradina shrimp
My gardner almost bit my guppies tale of it was a female endler guppy and she was not fully grown yet but already pretty big i had to take her out an treat her poor thing idk if she will make it
amazing fish. would you ever keep sticklebacks. i have a couple which are quite interesting
I haven't seen sticklebacks in years! I used to catch them in a local pond with a little net when I was a kid but I cant remember the last time I saw any wild or for sale! I would keep some though, just for curiosity sake .
my tank has emersed driftwood and i have Hob filter. Is there any way i can keep these fish without jumping ?
Nice vijeo...
Hi. I’m considering a pair in a 125 liter but that would put them with tetra’s (rummies, black neons and embers) hence food competition. I feed fish with flakes and pallets in the water surface so that it sinks and its not floating on the surface. Would that work with these fish? My main flow is at the surface and I have a lot of floating plants. Thx for advice/suggestions.
