Picked Up A Pair Of Aphyosemion Gardneri Today

[Genesis]

As it says on the tin, I picked up a pair of Aphyosemion gardneri from my LFS today, the male is beautiful
They're in a 55 litre planted aquarium with 5 peppered corys, 3 apple snails and 2 amano shrimp



I added some floating plants for them to rest in and some duckweed to subdue the light

Excellent... Please remember a tight fitting lid is essential with these and other Killifish. Plug all exit hatches with filter wool as far as possible.

The lid is very tight as it is a 'Tropiquarium'
The peppered corys are very, very active and I fear this is what is causing the A. gardneri to hide, it could just be that it is a new tank.


I have lowered the PH to 6.5 as I read they like slightly acidic water (as do corydoras).



I will be adding more plants in the coming weeks

Very nice! Do you know the variety? It is difficult to see the complete finnage in your male.

they were labeled as "A. gardneri Gold" in the shop
i'll take some more pics in a bit and put them up!
