Overview

Killifish Care: The Complete Guide to Caring for and Keeping Killifish as Pet Fish The Killifish is a name given to many different types of oviparous (egg laying) cyprinodontiform fish. The origin of the name is uncertain, but it is believed to come from the Dutch for a 'kill' ('kill' meaning a body of water). There are over 1250 different species of Killifish! The largest family, within the species, is the Rivulidae which contains over 320 different species! Most of the species live in ephemeral waters and their eggs can therefore survive periods of partial dehydration. Due to this fact, most Killifish eggs can be sent through the mail without being submerged in water! Some species, such as the Kryptolebias, can actually survive out of water for several weeks! Killifish are mainly found in fresh or brackish waters in the Americas, Europe and Africa. The most common place to find a wild Killifish is in a permanent stream, river or lake.
