Todd's Killifish

Callopanchax toddi is a rare and highly prized non-annual killifish from the forest streams of Sierra Leone. Males display an extraordinarily dense mosaic of red-orange scales over a blue-green base, producing a jewel-like appearance that places it among the most beautiful of all African killifish. Its rarity, large size, and demanding nature make it exclusively a fish for the experienced specialist keeper.
