Can These Killies Live With Neon Tetra?

[catfishblues]

i found this kind of killi and thought they were really cool. can they live in a planted tank with neon tetra?

i believe they're golden wonder, they wont be fine with neons. they eat anything slightly bigger than their mouths.

Thats too bad! thanks anyways!

Its actually Aplocheilus lineatus, the Striped Panchax. They will eat Neon Tetra

No. Gold Wonder Killies are gold colour while Striped Kilifish are white and black

They are the exact same species (Aplocheilus lineatus) The gold form is just a colour morph.
Aplocheilus lineatus "Gold"

i have 12 neons and 12 lampeyes, they get on great.
They (killis) were tiny when we got them and most of them are approaching the same size as our neons.
You don't think lampeye killis will eat the neons do ya?
Hope not.
