Cinnamon Killifish

Fundulopanchax cinnamomeus is a non-annual killifish from the forest streams of Nigeria. Males are named for their warm cinnamon-brown base colouration, overlaid with red spots and accented by brightly patterned dorsal and caudal fins. It requires soft, slightly acidic water and is best kept in a species tank where its moderate territorial behaviour can be easily managed.

Water: 22–26 °C, pH 6.0–7.5, soft water preferred. Tank: 40 L planted species tank; spawning mops or fine-leaved plants; secure lid. Feeding: Live/frozen Daphnia, Artemia, and blood worm; quality pellets accepted. Behaviour: Males territorial; keep one male with two or three females. Compatibility: Species tank or peaceful soft-water community with caution.
