clown killifish

They aren't the easiest killies to keep. I'd try a couple of other species first. And make sure they have plenty of floating cover and a well-covered tank.

check and check. it also has floating plants (salvinia) and a pH of 6.5 thanks to peat filtration.

I know they aren't easy, that's why I want them. I want a good, tough to care for fish that no one else has and stays small.

If you can get a culture of wingless fruitflies going, that always helps with killies. Even if they eat flake food, they seem to do a lot better with flies. Any other surface-feeding fish will like them too.

I will, my petco sells small cultures of them.
