Housing & compatibility
Use gentle filtration, dense cover and separate retreats so the female can get out of the male’s sight. A species setup makes feeding and observation easier.
Diet
Feed small live invertebrates such as baby brine shrimp and daphnia. Offer suitably sized frozen foods once the fish are feeding reliably.
Species notes
Hypsolebias magnificus. An annual killifish from seasonal pools in Brazil. Breeders collect the eggs in a soft spawning medium and incubate them separately.
