✅Common Name: Clown Killifish, Clown Killie
Binomial Name: Epiplatys Annulatus
Synonyms: Haplochilus Annulatus, Aplocheilus Annulatus, Panchax Annulatus, Pseudepiplatys Annulatus
✅The clown killifish was given the name Haplochilus annulatus in 1915 by Boulenger, but it has surpassed the currently recognized scientific name, Epiplatys annulatus. This fish is also commonly known as banded panchax, rocket panchax, and rocket killifish. Killifish belongs to the family Nothobranchiidae and lives in tropical, freshwater habitats in West Africa, Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone.
✅
Clown killifish habitat in areas with open savanna and tropical rainforests like low-lying swamps, slow-moving streams, and small rivers. Although most habitats are freshwater, in some places, it is slightly saline. The climate in its range is hot and humid, with an unusual wet season between April-May and October-November. The water is generally warm, soft, and acidic, but the primary rainforest has protected forest reserves in many cases.
Causeway is one such reserve in the Moyamba district of Sierra Leone. It covers part of the rocky volcanic mountains covered with moist, semi-deciduous, and evergreen forests. These little preys are abundant in streams, swamps, and water holes that were once known for the clown killies home in their natural habitat.
✅Clown Killifish Care
The most difficult part of Clown killifish care is maintaining a subtle balance of low water flow and cleanliness. If you do not use a filter, make a 50% water change every few days. If you are using a filter, spread the flow with a garnish or plant in front of the filter. With or without a filter, make sure you have plenty of plants on hand to absorb harmful ammonia and nitrates. Floating plants serve more properly to help keep your tank clean. Clown killi love to swim through floating plants’ leaves and rely on them to reproduce because they act as spawning mats.
If water conditions are compromised at any time, the chances of fish diseases will increase. Although clown killifish are very hardy, they are very small, so you may want to be careful in looking for signs of illness or disease.

However, the shrimp and fish you receive may be discolored and the reason of this issue is strong vibration during transportation and they're not be fed during the transport period
To handle this problem we highly recommend to you:
🚩Let the fish relax helps them adapt to any changes in water temperature in the tank. Also prevents pH shock - an imbalance between the water in the shop tank and your tank.
🚩Place the fish bag in a cool, corner, and dark place. Prevent the bag from being bumped, slipped, or dropped. This'll give your new fish a good recovery and acclimatization after a shaky ride from the shop to your home.
🚩Feed your old fish first to distract them, preventing them from bullying your new fish.
🚩Your new aquarium tank should have a pH of zero ammonia and chlorine before adding new fish.
🚩Turn off the lights, reduce the glare in the room, or limit the light entering the aquarium. This will help the new fish not be stressed.
