The Two Striped Killie features sharply defined red, green, yellow and blue shades packed into a slender body that creates a playground-like vibrancy. This easy-care tooth-carp originates from Western African streams and swampy rainforest edges. Aquarists select Two Striped Killie for its bright patterns and straightforward breeding when they provide shaded, soft-water tanks with dense planting from the start.
Size and Lifespan
