Aphyosemion bitittatum


Aphyosemion bivittatum
(Link Leads to More Aph. Info for Aquarium-Club Members)

Native Habitat:   Low coastal plain on either side of the Nigeria and Cameroon border. Found in the lower tributaries of the Ndian River & also in some small coastal rivers, some more brackish, but seem most abundant in shade pools rich in vegetation and animal life.

Temperament:    Peaceful, occupies the upper strata of the aquarium and should be kept with peaceful fish that occupy the mid and lower strata of the aquarium.

Feeding:    Some flake foods high in protein and adult brine shrimp, along with live foods such as grindal worms, white worms, Daphnia, Moina, and newly hatch brine shrimp nauplii

Temperature Range: 72 - 78°F

pH:  6.8 - 7.8

dH:  5.0 - 19.0

Adult Size:   2.5 inches

Sexing:    Males have much more colorful fins.  Females are horizontally striped and resemble immature fish, but for size.  Females are about 1.75 - 2.0 inches.

Breeding Aph. Bivittatum & Raising Fry (Aquarium-Club Members Only)

General Comment:   Real easy killifish to keep and breed.  Most Bivittatum found in the aquarium hobby are Fungé.  Does very well with a lot of floating plants for cover for fry and general health and behavior of fish.  Occupies the upper strata of the aquarium and will do well with other peaceful fish, certainly those like some guppies and others which occupy the mid and lower strata generally.  See Chromaphyosemion
