A pair of these beautiful top-dwelling fish require an aquarium 3ft long, and if a larger group (including more males) are to be kept together, a more spacious tank must be provided. In the wild, these fish are found in slow moving rivers, streams and lakes, the locations of which are of a high altitude and they are also heavy with aquatic vegetation. It is not unknown for them to move into swamps, paddy fields and even slightly brackish waters in some areas, and they thrive on eating the mosquito larvae which land on the water’s surface. The aquarium itself should be aquascaped with plenty of plants, including floating varieties wherever possible. This will give the fish a natural network of hiding places and territories. Tangles of driftwood can also be added to give additional shelter. Golden Wonder Panchax are accomplished jumpers, so it is essential that the tank has tight fitting coverslides. These fish are predatory and have surprisingly wide mouths (view them head-on). Therefore they should never be combined with small community fish e.g. Neon Tetras, as these will soon become a snack. Golden Wonder Panchax are best maintained with medium sized fish of a peaceful disposition, and which do not occupy the same extreme top level of the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"section_feeding\"\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fish require a good variety of meaty frozen foods, as in the wild they are known to take insects and insect larvae from the water’s surface. Bloodworm and white mosquito larvae are preferred, but they will also enjoy vitamin-enriched brineshrimp and daphnia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"section_breeding\"\u003eBreeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA chosen conditioned pair should be acclimatised to a softwater breeding aquarium furnished with large clumps of fine leaved plants and floating plants. Some aquarists prefer to condition the male and female in separate tanks prior to bringing them together in the breeding aquarium. The eggs, which are of quite a large size, will be deposited amongst the plants near the water’s surface. From here it is easy to transfer them to another growing-on tank so that the parent fish do not predate on them (alternatively, carefully remove the parent fish from this aquarium once spawning has ceased). The eggs usually number between 100 and 150, but up to 250 have been reported from one spawning. These eggs can be expected to hatch within 11-14 days (temperature dependant) and the young offered finely powdered ‘first foods’ and newly hatched brineshrimp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon Name – Golden Killie Panchax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin – Western Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiet – carnivorous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePH Range – 4 – 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature – Tropical 26°c – 28°c\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreed Type – Egg Layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent Size – approximately 2cm (Grows to approximately 4cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSex – Un-sexed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ABQUATICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51491327967510,"sku":"A1801S","price":9.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/8348\/3158\/files\/golden-killie-panchax-5cm-815.webp?v=1784017857"},{"product_id":"clown-killifish-10mm-15mm","title":"Clown Killifish 3cm","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommon name:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eClown Killifish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific name:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePseudepiplatys Annulatus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAverage Adult Fish Size:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1.5 inches \/ 4 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlace of Origin:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAfrica – Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTypical Tank setup:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eWell planted aquarium with a lot of hiding places, the more densely planted the better.
