The Golden Wonder Killifish is a freshwater aquarium fish that is native to India. It is also known as the Malabar killi, or the striped panchax. It is one of the larger killifish species. Its scientific name is Aplocheilus lineatus, and it is one of the easier species to keep, feed, and breed. In this high definition video, these beautiful killifish are seen jumping out of the water to catch live crickets from a branch several inches above them. The video also explains some of the unique adaptations that enable this killi to hunt in the dark, as well as how to tell a male from a female. It also explains the functions and survival value of it's third eye. In a follow up video that is soon to be released I will look at how to breed this killi.

Never knew the killifish would eat a small enough guppy until the 2 I had went missing, they were very well fed but didn't matter. Thankfully the killi does live well with anything slightly larger. I have a single dwarf gourami and they don't fight and feed together without issues.

Damn I just got a golden wonder killi from petco and had no idea they were this sophisticated. Truly a marvel of predatory evolution with all these sensors in its head and adaptations to surface dwelling, nature is amazing even on the smallest of scales. I wonder if he will be ok in my community tank and with dry foods like flake, pellets, bloodworms, etc. Should I start looking for live insects? EDIT: He loved Hikari freeze dried bloodworms! He's so cool with his long body + iridescent yellow hue! I think I found my favorite fish. Now I'm considering if I should make a full killifish community out of my 40 gal tank lol.

@TheDave333 4 года назад

Killifish are amazing . . . One of my My favorite fish! They will eat flakes, pellets, etc. and small fish like guppies. No small fish in the community tank . . at least not for long!!! Live insects are not needed. Obviously, they will also jump out of the tank if they get a chance.. . . Yes, get more in a planted tank and babies will just start appearing at the surface!!! Awesome fish!

I recommend buying these killifishes if you're looking for something cool, active, cheap ($5 in store at Petco or breeder), easy to care for, and smart. Mine usually hang around near the top of the surface and wait for me to come by to feed. You can get them to tame very fast, mine were very frightened by me for the first day and by the following day they're already trailing my fingers for food. Very cool fishes compared to bettas who are usually inactive without you around and just hang around the decorations. This species of killifish gets very big too (I had a 5 inches male), the wild striped variant is also cool but is very rare to find.

I loved gar he was one of my favorite fish he had a lot of personality and I use to feed him earwigs, crickets, spiders, and mealworms it was always fun to watch him eat, I never realized how much love I had for him until he died. Most of the time whenever I have a fish die it sucks but I never really got upset about but with gar it was different. Yesterday I decided to get another one l, a little baby boy and nicked named him lil G as in little Gar.

I in fact just got 3 of them today!!! The biggest males name is Erwin, he's actually quite passive, the smaller male's name is Levi, super aggressive, but got along with Erwin later on, and the last one is a female. Her name is Hanji :)

Whao very good job ! I love your vid ! I have this fish in my tank and was still wondering why he was in panic when I came above him... guy has 3 eyes ok lol

@TheDave333 6 лет назад

Yes, they can be startled very easily. Mine panic when I clean the glass with a cloth or magnetic tank cleaner. Thank you for watching the video. I have another one on this species if you are interested. :-D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jVCxvPT19Bo.html

My panchax is in a long tank positioned a bit higher than me. I am always lower than her when I approach and she gets really excited to see me, no fear at all! I think these fish arereally intelligent. She is happy with frozen foods and flakes as long as I drop them right by her so she feels them hitting the water. Big, big appetite!

I would kill to be able to work and learn from you in your fish room.

Awesome Channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😄👍🏻❤️ Unfortunately I had a fish just like this in my tank and it died yesterday .

Rest in peace, crickets. Or, more appropriately, rest in pisces. :P

@TheDave333 4 года назад

Or rest in "pieces."

How many Golden Wonder Killifish do you have in that tank? Awesome video!

@TheDave333 5 лет назад

4-6 - I can't remember! Great fish!!!

@tomcat-cn9wx 5 лет назад

Is there any way that you can email me a picture of your tank design because I would love to recreate something similar to yours!

@tomcat-cn9wx 5 лет назад

Also how many gallons is your tank?

@TheDave333 5 лет назад

The tank used was a 29 gallon tall tank. I removed several inches of water to film the killifish jumping for crickets. The tank has since been re-purposed, and is now being used to film Angelfish breeding. . . However, my designs are very simple- sponge filters, driftwood, and hardy plants such as Anubias, Java Fern, guppy grass, and subwassertang. . . .

@voluntaryismistheanswer Год назад

If you have any wonderful tank ideas for them, I've been struggling, they've never been happier than summer tubbing with a low level for me, and redoing all the tanks, ugh- I have two left after a couple jumpers (and the tanks were covered, and the gap had a cover; they're sneaky!)

@TheDave333 Год назад

They will find the tiniest of gaps. They like floating plants to hide under Frogbit, or Asian water fern. ( see my latest videos ). The more plant cover you have at the top the more babies will survive.

@doucheousmalfoy6119 3 года назад

I have a tank with only one of these fish living in it. I never have to buy fish food. I live in the mountains with tons of small bugs everywhere and he snatches up everything I drop in there almost instantly

@doucheousmalfoy6119 3 года назад

He hangs out kinda still near the top of water. But when I come by to feed him a fly or beetle he sees me and noticeably gets excited, starts “wagging his tail” I drop a bug in and he immediately goes motionless for like 2 seconds then attacks it 😊

@TheDave333 3 года назад

It sounds like he has you trained! Mine love bugs too. I have a second video on this species If you're interested. . . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jVCxvPT19Bo.html Some people keep nothing but Killifish, because they are quite possibly the most beautiful and interesting freshwater fish in the world. Have you seen the Gardneri killifish? :-) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-btAtnUnv0KI.html

@moonpleco5083 Год назад

Is their third eye built from same tissue like pineal gland? Functions of those two organs are the same . But pineal gland is hidden in skull - stronger sensitive ability?

@TheDave333 Год назад

I'm sure there's a connection there somewhere.

@jesussaves9974 4 года назад

that fish reminds me of that aligator fish

@TheDave333 4 года назад

I can see the resemblance. It reminds me of a barracuda or a Pickerel / Northern Pike.

@kingofrannoch 11 месяцев назад

No wonder i found one of mine on the floor dried up. Those damn aquarium kit lids arent made for anything but hang on back filters so theres a a gap between the tank and lid

@TheDave333 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, this happens a lot. It's easy enough to fix though. Hopefully, you have a few more, they're amazing fish!

@notyouraverageaquarist8886 3 года назад

I'm going to get a paludarium that has a twenty gallon water area soon. The water area is quite a bit shallower than a standard twenty gallon tank, perfect for surface dwelling fish. In a paludarium you could really observe their jumping behavior!

@TheDave333 3 года назад

Yes, you could, but be careful they don't jump out! :-)

@notyouraverageaquarist8886 3 года назад

@@TheDave333 Lucky It has a large area above the water and a lid! My dad agreed they would be super cool for the tank :).

@TheDave333 3 года назад

They're very cool fish, but remember they get fairly large, so be sure they have plenty of swimming room.

@notyouraverageaquarist8886 3 года назад

@@TheDave333 The tank is about 36" long, so I don't think that would be a problem.

@shanemaloney7519 6 лет назад

How long did it take for your killis to color up like that?

@TheDave333 6 лет назад

The adults took about 1 week to color up after I brought them home, the babies took about 2-3 months to really get their colors.

@sekharly 4 года назад

Do you regularly feed crickets? Where do we get them? What other diet you your killies on?

@TheDave333 4 года назад

I only feed crickets occasionally, and I buy them at a local petstore. Smaller crickets are better to use. However, their main diet is fish pellets designed for meat eating cichlids.

@anthonypope8429 4 года назад

hi can you keep golden wonder killi fish with red chin killi fish and the crickets what size do you feed them on

@TheDave333 4 года назад

Killifish are best kept in single species tanks, and I would definitely avoid keeping these two species together. They are very similar in preferences, and may even be able to cross-breed. They both prefer too be at the top of the tank and will compete with each other too much. For the video, I used the smallest crickets that I could find, the stores usually call them pinhead crickets.
