ADULT SIZE: 6 cm
WATER CONDITIONS: Not critical
TEMPERATURE RANGE: 23-27 C
FOOD: Feed Fundulopanchax filamentosus live and dried foods
DISTRIBUTION: This species comes from Nigeria, Togo, Benin
AQUARIUM CARE: This is a relatively small Fundulopanchax, but an attractive one. It is quite a peaceful fish, but will suffer in a community aquarium. This fish needs a species tank!
BREEDING: Breeding is relatively easy either using spawning mops or by providing a peat spawning substrate. Eggs may be incubated in water, or in damp peat. The fry eat newly hatched artemia nauplii immediately.

Sorry no records.
Should I have water movement in my tank? Fish from faster flowing rivers love swimming against a current - fish from vegetation choked marshes do not. With todays box filters it is quite easy to get some good water flow for strong swimmers like Rainbowfish, whilst a spray bar attachment can completely remove this for gentler swimmers like Gouramis
