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!

Sorry no records.
Great first fish! Livebearers are unlike other fish in that they do not lay eggs; the young develop inside the mother and when born are significantly larger than the offspring of similarly sized egglayers. Species such as the guppy, platy and swordtail are incredibly prolific and are some of the best known, and most colouful aquarium species
