207. Mop-Spawning Killifish Leave a comment
To continue Killifish month, the Water Colors team is back to discuss mop-spawning killifish! This distinction is given to killifish species that breed in moss/plant mats, which aquarists often replicate with yarn “mops” that are easily removed and combed for eggs. They make excellent project fish and are incredibly adaptable to various temperatures and parameters. They can be kept in small tanks, making them the perfect fish for those with limited space. Did we mention that some of these species are, in our opinion, the most beautiful freshwater fish of all time? The hosts discuss their favorite species, care requirements, and personal experiences keeping mop-spawning killis.
