Tank Photos – Least Killifish

The least killifish is misnamed.  The problem is with the killifish part–it isn’t a killifish.  It is a livebearer, similar to guppies and mollies.  It is the smallest livebearer in North America.  The genus/species for this fish is Heterandria formosa.

These live in a five gallon planted tank that s plenty big for these guys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was unable to find, much less get a photo of the tiny male.  The image below is of the female.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The thermometer is probably a centimeter wide, so that should give some scale to the fish behind it.  Click an image for a larger photo.
