Overview

Aphyosemion celiae Teke Killifish is a small West African killifish. The care anchor is Aphyosemion celiae celiae, with Teke treated as a locality or collection name rather than a separate species.

This is a quiet, plant-friendly species for covered aquariums with calm tank mates, soft to neutral water and small foods. It is best kept away from boisterous fish and open-top tanks because killifish can jump when startled.

Tank mates

Choose very calm, small fish only, or keep as a species-focused display. Avoid fin nippers, large cichlids, fast barbs and uncovered aquariums.
