Bring a beautiful shimmer of blue to your aquarium with the stunning Lamp Eye Killifish! These small, peaceful freshwater fish are named for their distinctive reflective blue eyes, which seem to glow under aquarium lighting. Their silvery bodies and active schooling behaviour make them a wonderful addition to peaceful community aquariums.
Lamp Eye Killifish are social, lively swimmers that look especially attractive in planted aquariums with darker backgrounds and plenty of open swimming space. They are best kept in groups, where they feel more secure and display their natural behaviour.
