Chromaphyosemion Killifish
Chromaphyosemion (Aphyosemion
subgenus) are killifish found primarily in Nigeria, from the coastal regions of
Central-West Africa, from the border between Togo and Ghana to the West, to the
mouth of the Ogooue River, in Gabon, in the South-East. Chromaphyosemion
thrive in small rivers and streams with thick growths of vegetation in the
stream bed and along the banks of the river. Chromaphyosemion killifish
require weekly water changes of 25%-50%, pH of 6.6 - 7.4, dH of 4.0 - 10.0, and
plenty of aeration for optimum health and spawning conditions.
The species of
Aphyosemion killifish in the Chromaphyosemion (Chroma) group are:

Chromaphyosemion Photo Table
Even within these species there are several color morphs and
location populations. Chromaphyosemion are also distinguished from other
Aphyosemion and killies generally by their very large and spectacular dorsal and
anal fins.
Chromaphysemions do
very well in aquariums of 5 - 10 gallon size. They do best in well planted
aquarium, to simulate their native environment.
Chromaphosemion are
plant spawners and readily can be bred in the aquarium using the
mop spawning
method. (Breeding Help/Info Aquarium-Club Members Only)
