Two Stripe Lyretail Killifish Aphyosemion Bivittatum 3cm

Overview: The Two Stripe Lyretail Killifish, scientifically known as Aphyosemion bivittatum, is a captivating addition to any freshwater aquarium. This small, yet vibrant species is renowned for its striking coloration and unique tail fin shape. Males display a dazzling array of colors, with two distinct longitudinal stripes that run the length of their body, complemented by a lyre-shaped tail fin. Females are subtler in color but share the same elegant finnage. They typically reach up to 2.5 inches in length, making them a perfect choice for nano and community tanks.

Origin: Native to the dense, shaded streams and pools of Central Africa, Aphyosemion bivittatum thrives in environments with plenty of plant cover and soft, acidic water. Their habitat ranges from Cameroon to the Congo, where they are adapted to life in fluctuating water conditions.

Feeding: Two Stripe Lyretail Killifish are omnivores with a preference for live foods. Their diet in the wild consists of small insects, larvae, and crustaceans. In the aquarium, they can be fed a variety of foods including live or frozen brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms, as well as high-quality flake foods. Regular feeding of live foods can enhance their coloration and overall health.

Tank Mates: Being peaceful and somewhat shy, Aphyosemion bivittatum does well with other small, non-aggressive fish. Ideal tank mates include small tetras, rasboras, and other killifish species. It's important to avoid housing them with large or aggressive fish that may intimidate or harm them. A densely planted tank with plenty of hiding spots is ideal for these fish to thrive.

Aggression: This species exhibits very low levels of aggression and is often more likely to be on the receiving end of bullying from larger, more aggressive tank mates. Males may show mild territorial behavior towards each other but rarely cause harm. Providing adequate space and hiding places can minimize any potential stress.

Experience Level: Aphyosemion bivittatum is suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists. While not the most demanding species, they do require stable water conditions and a specific diet to maintain their health and coloration. Knowledge of breeding killifish can also enhance the keeping experience, as they have fascinating breeding behaviors.

Water Parameters:
  • Temperature: 72°F to 77°F (22°C to 25°C)
  • pH: 5.5 to 7.0
  • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water
  • Water change: Regular, to maintain clean and stable conditions
The Two Stripe Lyretail Killifish offers a blend of beauty, elegance, and a touch of rarity. With their striking appearance and interesting behaviors, they are sure to be a standout in any aquarium setup. Proper care and attention to their needs will ensure these exquisite fish thrive, providing an enchanting display for years to come.

Perfect bones for dachshunds
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 5.25 inch (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 5.25 inch (Pack of 1)
I buy the medium size bones for my dachshund and my daughter’s 3 dachshund. The are a great shape for them to hold in their paws or to play with a second dachshund. They love the smell and taste. The dachshunds are entertained for hours, chewing, carrying and fighting over. The weight is light enough to be easily carried. The bones are durable enough to last a month with vigorous use. The value of play time to cost is good. I buy 4 bones each month for four dachshunds to share.
