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.

Use a mature, well-covered aquarium with plants, leaf litter or fine cover and gentle filtration. Small live or frozen foods are useful for conditioning, with quality micro prepared foods accepted by many settled fish.

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.
