What is Seruffin killifish?

serfinkillifish_2

The Seruffin killifish is a killifish with two separate dorsal fins. If you look closely at each fin, you will see a stripe-like structure (the stria). There is also a membrane (fin membrane) between the striae. The fins are made up of the soft striae and the fin membrane. The serpentine killifish has two dorsal fins due to the lack of either the fin membrane or the soft striae on its dorsal fins.The shape of the fins varies from individual to individual, with some individuals having long fins and others having short fins. In addition to dorsal fins, there are also some individuals that have two tail fins and some that have three dorsal fins. The front part of the dorsal fins, which are divided into two halves, looks sharp and is sometimes referred to as a "samurai killifish" because it resembles a Japanese sword.

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.

The Seruffin killifish has remained popular since its creation in 2004. Recently, it has become more recognizable due to the influence of being sold and exhibited under the name Samurai Medaka. One of the factors is that people overseas are more attached to the Samurai Medaka when they see them.In recent years, individuals with two butt fins (upper and lower self-fin) and individuals with three dorsal fins (W-self-fin) have appeared. The lack of either the fin membrane or the soft stria on the dorsal fin gives the fish a distinctive dorsal fin, which makes it unique to each individual. Many people find this attractive, and it is one of the pleasures of finding an individual that they prefer. If you are interested in killifish, we recommend that you take a look at them at a specialty store.
