How to Keep a Crown Killy

The Crown Killy will be an easy breed to keep. The lifespan of the Crown Killy is approximately 2 to 3 years. Its body size is about 4 cm. However, both lifespan and body size vary depending on the environment in which they are kept and the food they are fed. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water (especially soft water), and especially prefer a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. Since the clown killifish is classified as a tropical fish, it requires a heater in winter if kept in Japan.

annulatus_3

Regarding mixed swimming, first of all, the personality of the clown killy is calm. Therefore, if the breed with which they are mixed is territorial or aggressive, the clown killy may be beaten up, resulting in injury or even illness due to stress.Recommended species for mixing with the clownkillies are small fish such as neon tetras and other caracinids and red fins. Also, when placed with neon tetras and other species that swim in groups, clown killies may also swim in groups with them. If you place your clown killifish with medium-sized tropical fish, please make sure that they have a place to hide by adding water plants to prevent them from being chased and injuring themselves.

Points about spawning

Many people who keep clown killies want to breed them. Breeding clown killies is relatively easy if you keep a large number of them in a tank or other container. To distinguish between male and female clown killies, males have colorful red, blue, or yellow tail fins. Females do not have a particular color on their tail fins, but rather a transparent color. Males are also more colorful, with "black dorsal fins" and "black rump fins". So if you are trying to distinguish between male and female, the beautiful one is often the male.Then, once you are sure that the male and female are in the right place, it is the water plants to attach the eggs to. We recommend water plants such as willow moss and lyssia as good breeding plants for clown killies. The eggs are very small, so check the surface of the aquatic plants daily, and if you find any eggs, place them first in a separate tank from the adults. After they hatch, it is important to feed them several times a day as you would any other tropical fish.

What to look for when keeping a crown killy

annulatus_4

The clown killifish is a recommended variety because of its ease of keeping and mixing with other species. It is recommended for beginners and those who are not familiar with tropical fish to try this breed. It is also recommended for those who do not have a very large aquarium. The reason is that the brightly colored body color of the clown killy makes it possible to make even a single clown killy look good.One thing to keep in mind when keeping clown killies is that when they are purchased from a specialty store and placed in an aquarium, their color may become lighter. The body color of a clown killifish may become lighter when it is stressed by changes in water quality or water temperature, but the body color will gradually return to normal as it becomes accustomed to the changes. If you have a chance to see a crown killy at a specialty store, we recommend that you take a look.
