So yes I got a new fish on impulse. Well it's not a full outright impulse buy since I've looked into getting killis before.
Here's the story:
I had been checking the feed store( they have lot of animals, like a petshop) to get new driftwood for my clown plecos. So I look at their fish selection, which is good, though I am not actively in the market for new fishies.
I find two baby silver aros and overall their fish look well taken care and besides the aros I happily note the overall lack of tankbuster fish such as pacos, irredescent sharks etc.
I look into a guppy tank and find a fish that I've never seen before, a male killifish of some kind ( panchax species I'm guessing). I've never seen a fish like this, then again I hardly ever see any killis.
I curiously ask about said fish and get the fish offered to me for the price of a common guppy. This fish seems to have a history of being returned to the store twice for being aggressive, the fish's origins being that the original person who had the fish gave him to the store. Nobody at the store had ever seen a fish like this before either.
Do I have a community tank?. because if so, then it's not the fish for me.
Now my tank I could put the killi in is my planted twenty gal which houses a single female betta. I'm not terribly concerned about an aggressive loner fish, because I've no desire for a community tank and like my simplistic planted tank.
I take note of a male betta already in with the guppies and killifish hoping this means it'll work out ok. They have assured me if it doesn't work out I can return the killi. Yeah so I get tempted enough to buy the killi. I figured it's a chance to get a rare killifish for the price of a common guppy, probably not going to come up again.
So my new killi is mostly yellow. Due to the coloration, I'm assuming it's a male killi. Looks like a predatory fish with a large, upward turning, pointed mouth. Has a long streamlinned shaped body.
Is said to be aggressive, though I don't know under what circumstances, Anyone have a clue what this killifish could be?.
EDIT: I think I've found the killi's ID already. I think he is a golden panchax, that was quick eh?.
