Kribi killi

Kribi killi (Fundulopanchax fallax)[3] is a species of African killifish that mainly inhabits swamps and turbid parts of brooks in the coastal rainforest. The species is endemic to Cameroon.[2] Adult fish reach a maximum length of approximately 9 centimetres (3.5 inches).[2] Breeding pairs of the species most often lay their eggs over the bottom, but occasionally also among the roots of free-floating aquatic plants. Pairs stay close for some time, with just a few eggs being produced each day. It is sometimes kept in captivity but difficult to maintain and breed in an aquarium.[2]
