The black diamond killifish is a killifish with a pitch-black body color and almost bluish-purple lamellae. The lame killifish is the result of inheritance between the Orochi killifish, which has all black eyes, belly, and fins, and the Hoshigawa killifish, which has blue lamellae. The black body coloration of the Orochi killifish is a characteristic of the Hoshigawa killifish, which does not have the dorsal reaction of the Orochi killifish. In this article, I would like to explain in detail the characteristics of the Black Diamond killifish and how to keep it.
What is Black Diamond killifish?
The black diamond killifish is a killifish with a pitch-black body color and almost blue-purple lame. It is the result of inheritance between the Orochi killifish, which has pitch black eyes, belly, and fins, and the Hoshigawa killifish, which has blue lamellae (blue lamellae). The black pigmentation of the Hoshigawa killifish is the reason why it has a blue-purple lame coloration rather than a blue body coloration.The all-black body color is also inherited from Orochi's characteristic of no back-ground reaction, so the black color will not change regardless of the container. The black diamond killifish becomes a very popular species because of its jet-black body color with blue-purple lame.

The sapphire killifish is a killifish with a black body color and blue lame parts. The lame killifish was created by unifying the lame part of the black lame stemmed killifish with the blue part of the black lame stemmed killifish.

Origin of the Black Diamond killifish
The Black Diamond killifish will be a variety created by Yoshinori Nakazato of Kanagawa Prefecture in 2018. It was completed in F4 (4th generation) by crossing Orochi Medaka with Hoshigawa (Blue Lame Mikayuki) Medaka. Black Diamond killifish are bred from very carefully selected individuals during the breeding process. Therefore, it is characterized by a high fixation rate.In the beginning, there were many individuals with good body color and few lamellae, and many with high lamellae and light body color, but through progressive breeding, we gradually began to produce individuals with good body color and lamellae.
The Orochi killifish will be a killifish that is all black, including the eyes and fins. For this reason, it is sometimes described as the best black killifish. Orochi killifish do not develop a back-ground reaction, so the black color is not lost even when kept indoors or in an aquarium. In this article, we will discuss the characteristics of the Orochi killifish and [...].

Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
About Mixed Swimming,Some people often think that killifish can only be kept in the same species, but the real appeal of killifish is in combining them. If you are not particular about this, you can mix any kind of killifish with any other kind of killifish.However, it is best to be careful with killifish of different body types (e.g., Dharma killifish and Hirena killifish). If killifish of different body types are mixed with killifish of normal body type, problems such as inability to eat food may occur. However, there are people who mix killifish of different body types with those of normal body types, so there is no need to be concerned.However, each type of killifish, which is considered a high-end killifish, has its own distinctive appearance and shine, so it is recommended to keep them in a way that allows the enjoyment of each individual (type) rather than keeping them in many different species.
Points about spawning
The point about spawning was explained in the above section that keeping a variety of species is the best part of keeping killifish, and having various species swimming together when spawning will naturally produce killifish with the characteristics of various species. However, that is not always a good thing. For example, mixing red and white killifish can produce pink killifish, but not necessarily red or white killifish, or in the worst case, killifish with a color that is hard to describe. If you want red killifish, you should keep only red killifish because the probability of producing red killifish is much higher,I recommend that you think about what kind of killifish you want when spawning and what color and shape you want your killifish to be born, so that you will have less regret and confusion when raising them and find your own way to enjoy them.If it is just a hobby, I think you will enjoy it more if you stick to the methods that you enjoy, regardless of whether people complain about them. The following page explains the method of spawning and points to note, so please read it as well.
Many people who keep killifish want them to spawn. However, not many people know about spawning and what they need to do to prepare for it. This time, we would like to explain the method of spawning and the points to be noted [...].

Points to keep in mind when keeping black diamond killifish
The black diamond killifish is a killifish with a pitch-black body color and almost bluish-purple lame. It is the result of the inheritance of the black eyes, belly, and fins of the Orochi killifish and the blue lamellae of the Hoshihe (blue lamellae) killifish. It is a very popular species because of its name, its striking appearance, and its beautiful blue-purple lame.Black diamond killifish are also characterized by a high fixation rate. It has inherited Orochi's characteristic of having no back-ground reaction, which is another factor that has made it so popular, allowing it to be enjoyed in any container and any place it is placed. The Orochi's jet-black body color with blue-purple lame makes it the coolest looking killifish. If you are interested in black diamond killifish, we recommend that you take a look at them at a specialty store.
