I've noticed when feeding these guys they tend to rip at the food so have to be pretty careful if they are in community tanks with everything eating from the top he/she will always tend to bit on another fishes face by accident
11 years ago, when I asked any expert cross-breed the Golden Panchax and Blue Panchax, I got biased so badly by hobbyist. And today, I successfully cross-breed the two species but the coloring is disappointing.
love this fish but a word of cautions, An adult female I had ate an adult male endler. Two days later she filled the mop with eggs.raised them for a few years and shipped eggs world wide. I sent some of my eggs of this fish to Isreal and Spain
Great video and close ups there. They are a stunning fish, whoever managed to fix the gold form of this panchax must have been sat on a gold mine! I've always found them to be very curious, they'll come to the front of the tank to look at you even if other fish in the community retreat. They will snap at anything that breaks the water surface, condensation, random flys, other fish and they certainly have eyes bigger than their stomachs. I lost a female that tried to eat a mature Otocinclus which while a small fish, was still about 1/3 her size at the time, it was never going down but, lesson learned!
Bahah they do fly! I was giving mine a salt bath yesterday and one literally went flying out the bowl. Should be laughing about it but it was so random
Hey do these fishes have a white stone type thing on their head I just caught few from a nearby pond and they exactly look like these And has a white crest on its head
Nice! I really do like killifish.. I don't know much about them, but that's what I'm here for right! Do you think you'll start adding Amazon links in the future? That would be great for this breeder box. Something I need to order but I'd love it if it would support your channel! Great information when keeping these fish especially if you plan on breeding them! You really break it down to where it's easy to understand! Thanks for another great video Blake.. I always appreciate it.. I hope you have a wonderful day!👍🌱🐟🌿🙏
My killifish eats more than just fry-- she's eaten three guppies, four neon tetras and even a white cloud minnow, all full grown in my 55 gallon. I found a guppy tail with the rest of the guppy bitten clean off! She will also devour a cricket and whole sinking pellets. I finally wised up and moved her to my peacock cichlid tank. She belongs with the big boys.
@@BlakesAquatics She does great with them! She swims to the bottom and hangs out. I honestly think she's even in the running for tank boss. 🤣 They really are a funny fish.
I have two of these a pair. I also have neon tetras and fancy guppies in with them. I was told they would eat my neon's and guppies . I guess I'm gonna have to get a tank just for my killifish . I also have a bunch of x-ray Tetris and phantom Tetris, surely they won't eat them lol. Mine are young not two inches yet .
Hi, Plz,Plz,plz,Plz,plz make a video about killifish eggs in soil that's sold online. From aliexpress/ebay/wish, if you can't find it search up "magic soil" then you can find it. Plz make it like a tutorial.
I use 8 of these beauties in my 55 gallon female guppy tank for population control. They are full of personality and fantastic eaters. I Enjoy these guys and would love to breed some - I’ve watched them exhibit mating behaviors and laying eggs for months but I haven’t had any fry hatch. I’m wondering what’s going on?!
I have a male and female and the male is being very aggressive towards the female and even nipping fins. I don’t know what to do. The female is substantially smaller and I can’t seem to get it to stop. Any recommendations?
Can you separate the female in to a breeder box or something to recover? Line of sight blocks like plants and decor can help, floating plants especially with large roots. More females could be another option. Good luck
Literally just put them in a fully planted tank with breeding guppies and fry in it... Looks like I'll be digging all the plants up tomorrow to catch these guys before they eat all my guppy fry
@@BlakesAquatics oh okay, so you have them in a separate tank with the breeding mop, then once they lay eggs in the mop, move the mop to the breeder box?

Yeah that big mouth certainly needs to be kept in mind. 👍 thanks for sharing
my male one keeps getting harassed by a young male guppy (which I got by accident with some flame tetras). I think one day he is going to eat him
i am from india and i was catching fish in my creak and i found a striped panchax killfish and i wanna try breeding them
Good luck
Thank you from Algeria you welcome 🤗 I have I have this beautiful fish ❤️🤗
Yo can these guys live in a 10 gallon? I have a spare 10g and I know if I can keep one there!

Just got one of these guys for my guppy tank.. hoping he’s a killer, the fry are getting out of control
these fish are stunning to look at! i never saw a bright gold fish like this besides colorful livebearers guppies platies mollies stuff like that
I have a male Panchax that's an absolute sweetheart, eats straight out of my hand🥰
i love their predatory look
Bahah they do fly! I was giving mine a salt bath yesterday and one literally went flying out the bowl. Should be laughing about it but it was so random
First
👍😁
Very beautiful fish
Now I have to add that to the list of fish I want 😂
Hey do these fishes have a white stone type thing on their head
I just caught few from a nearby pond and they exactly look like these
And has a white crest on its head
yes I have kept and bred quite a lot of these with white dots on their head.
that's actually a third eye for seeing above the surface
Love the sweatshirt. Killifish are on my list of fish to spawn. Just haven't set up the correct tank for it yet.

Good idea. Ill look into it tomorrow 👍.
Thanks for the kind words as always 😊
Good video. I’m still trying to get mine to hatch

She may get a taste of her own medicine if shes in with peacocks 👀 sorry to hear of your troubles. They do have a deceptively large mouth
@@BlakesAquatics She does great with them! She swims to the bottom and hangs out. I honestly think she's even in the running for tank boss. 🤣 They really are a funny fish.
Hi Blake do you think they will swallow Red Serp Tetras? I want to get one or two but concerned about this.
Serpae would be fine id say mate
Thanks...@@BlakesAquatics
The corked spawning mop is a great idea. Do you recommend a Bordeaux or Merlot? :] Thanks, bro!
Well it would be unAustralian of me not to recommend a Barossa Valley Shiraz ;)

My male one bullies the female, but only when I'm near the tank :/
strange, might be worth sourcing a couple of extra females
Cool video Blake i getting into the killifish hobby
This is the perfect one to start with 👍
good informative video. right to the point. thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Cool little fish.
Awesome video as always. Where did you get those hang on breeder boxes?
They are hard to find these days but i just get them from the lfs. Ebay and amazon also have them
Hi ,at what temperature should I raise the fry ? Thanks
What temp is best for the eggs to hatch?
25 deg c id say mate 👍
cool jumper
and nice video
Thanks mate
Can I keep them solo?
yep absolutely
Do you think these will be compatible with threadfin rainbows? Or are the females too small to cohabitate with them once fully grown? Thanks!
Id say threadfins would become food

Hey mate leave it with me ill order some 👌
@@BlakesAquatics Thanks and plz make a video on them.
Of course
@@BlakesAquatics Omg I'm so excited a RUclipsr makes a potential video from an Idea I gave. Omg so sick

Oh no sorry to hear! They are pretty easy to net if you come from underneath. Good luck!
Great content Blake, very informative mate thanks for sharing
I had one. I loved it… until it killed 2 of my max sized marbled hatchets
sorry to hear,
They are beautiful 👍.
I wonder if these guys breed in a ph above 7.5.
I think the eggs might calcify too quickly
Hey Blake. Love your vids.
I couldn't tell, do you put your panchex in with the breeding mop in the little hang off breeding box?
Nah the box is too small
@@BlakesAquatics oh okay, so you have them in a separate tank with the breeding mop, then once they lay eggs in the mop, move the mop to the breeder box?
@@yeders yep
