golden wonder killifish

[bentank1]

I no that killis arent that monstery but in some cases they can be. D uring the first two weeks of this month i was at my desk in my room doing homework. At the corner of my eye ithink i see my killie in my breeding net. i rush over to my tank, and i see what happened. My killie got spooked, jumped into my breeding net and ate my first guppy .

aren't killifish TINY? They're pretty cool.. Some have beautiful colours. didn't know they could be predatory tho

killis can get rather large at 3-4" (yeah, I know...not compared to arowanas etc). I can see how they'd eat a guppy.

If it's a golden wonder panchax, they do like to eat little fish!

Yes, most killis stay quite small, but golden wonders can grow bigger, to about 4", easily big enough to chow down on smaller fish

The fish sold as "golden wonder killi" is most likely Aplocheilus lineatus, which has a max size of four inches according to fishbase:

Aplocheilus lineatus

I had some, but my small bichirs ate them.

Lineatus love to munch gambusia.
