Before you choose from this collection

Show

Compare lyretails, Nothobranchius, panchax and lampeyes by the exact named fish. These are different buying choices: a collection heading does not mean they share the same water, feeding or companion needs. The established selection also includes Tomoki Medaka ricefish, identified separately on its listing.

Start with the aquarium you can provide. The Tanganyika Pearl Killifish listing calls for spacious housing and hard alkaline water; the Tomoki Medaka listing describes cooler water. Use each selected fish’s guidance to assess adult space, water, feeding and companions, and check any annual or non-annual life-cycle notes before choosing. Confirm a suitable cover and what the current fish accepts as food.

Read the selected supplied size and sale unit before setting quantity. The current offers have no sex-guaranteed option, so buying two does not guarantee a male–female or breeding pair. An XL grade, a photograph showing two fish or a quantity discount does not change the listing’s sale unit. Availability belongs to the selected size; the presence of a card does not mean every size is available.

Frequently asked questions

The exact fish matters more than the collection name. Compare the named species’ adult space, water, feeding and social needs with the aquarium you can provide. Lyretails, Nothobranchius, panchax and Tanganyika Pearl Killifish are different choices; the Medaka offer is identified separately as a ricefish. Read the individual guidance and ask about any uncertain requirement before buying.
Life cycles vary by species. Annual Nothobranchius and non-annual lyretails are different keeping commitments, so check which fish you are buying and its individual guidance. A supplied size or photograph does not establish the fish’s age or remaining lifespan. Avoid applying one fixed lifespan to every fish in this collection.
Compare the current price for the selected species, form and supplied size on each listing. Read the sale unit before setting quantity: buying two individual fish does not guarantee a male–female or breeding pair. A product card can include several sizes with different availability, so check the selected option rather than assuming every displayed size is in stock.
Assess the exact species and aquarium before choosing companions. Compare adult size, water, feeding access and territorial behaviour; the collection is not a ready-made community. A small fish or a calm-looking photograph does not guarantee compatibility. The Tanganyika Pearl Killifish and Tomoki Medaka listings describe different housing and water needs, so use the selected fish’s guidance to plan the group.
Plan a securely covered aquarium and check openings around cables, filters and feeding access before the fish arrive. The Australe Lyretail Panchax and Gold Striped Panchax listings both call for a covered aquarium. Check the exact species’ housing guidance and maintain suitable access for feeding and routine care.
Prepare a suitable aquarium before ordering and check that the exact fish, supplied size and sale unit fit your plan. Review the current delivery information and Live Arrival Guarantee for packing, dispatch, arrival and claim requirements. Ask about any uncertain feeding, water or companion needs before purchase; the collection heading alone does not establish suitability.

Killifish arrive in the post — as eggs in a bag of peatAnnual killifish eggs pause development in dry peat and hatch when water is added, which is why they can be sent through a letterbox.
