Description

Gardneri Killifish (F. gardneri nigerianum), is a vibrant and hardy freshwater species popular among aquarists for its stunning coloration and relatively easy care.

  • pH: 6.0–7.5
  • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water
  • Tank Size: Minimum 10 gallons 

Tank Setup

  • Substrate: Dark sand or fine gravel
  • Plants: Dense planting with floating plants for shade
  • Decor: Driftwood, rocks, and leaf litter for hiding spots
  • Filtration: Gentle flow; sponge filters are ideal
  • Lid: Essential—they are jumpers!

Diet

  • Carnivorous: Prefers live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, daphnia
  • Will accept high-quality flakes or micro-pellets
  • Feed small portions 2–3 times daily
