Multiple species killi tank?

Hey yahll, so I got these two golden wonder killifish from the LFS. I've been wanting killifish for a long time an decided if it wasnt then id miss the chance yet again. I took em home and put them in a neocaridina shrimp tank that also has chilli rasboras. The killis immediately started hunting them and actually got a rasbora(popping halfway out of its mouth). So i moved them to their own tank. I think im goin to tak this opportunity to create a nice community tank with rocks and the whole shebang, maybe even dirt medium idk. I really like killis so I was thinking of having a multi-species killi community tank. The golden wonders like to stay towards the top, so maybe some that do the bottom and mid? Also i was reading the wonders are fairly hardy compared to a lot of other killis,them needing pretty neutral water pH and doing well in a fair temperature range.

Thanks ^_^

 

They also get big and eat lots of other fish. I'd steer clear of the harder to keep and smaller ones, maybe some fundulus or flagfish? Dont get anything that stays smaller than a large molly to be safe.

 

>_< I don't like those ones. I like the popping/neon/pastel colors over the shiny/metallic colors. Any other suggestions? Thanks Donovan ^_^

This guy had gardneris with golden australes, but not sure with the golden wonders.
Multiple Species Of Killifish In One Tank? | 348404 | Killifish

 

Flagfish males are super colorful. Fundulus catenatus is drop dead gorgeous imo, it's got tons of color. Blue gularis get large as well I believe. I do t know many other killies so I wish I could be more help.

 

Ok the Fundulus catenatus looks cool, Most pics of the fundulus in the image search I did had them out of water in folks hands so they werent showing their color at all, but yeah I would definately keep those.
The Blue gularis are also a type I'd like.
Those two are fairly hardy you'd say? do good with 7pH? maybe a tinsy bit higher, average temps like 70s? Not crazy aggressive
Because if so, those would look cool together.

 

Fundulus catenatus males color up seasonally for breeding, then color down for 8 months of the year. And the only way you will get them is to go out and collect them in the Midwestern US. in the spring/early summer.

Blue Gularis have a lot of finnage, very tempting nipping for the Aplocheilus. Also they can easily reach 6 inches, and require a fair amount of space. They will also go after other fish in their territory, so the danger is to both.

Your problem is going to be that generally Aplocheilus lineatus is not a species that tolerates other species of fish. Finding another killifish to co-exist with them will be exceptionally difficult. You've already seen that they can be aggressive with other types of fish. It will only be worse with another killifish.

 

I went back to the store today and saw that there were like 5-6 females in the same tank i got the males from, now a plant was missing and I assumed they had been hiding from the males fighting, one looked pregnant too. So I think I'm going to trade in one of the males for a couple a females. I'm keeping them in a 10G and it just seems too little space to have two males. I was going to bust out the long 30G if I could have them with multiple species, but if I have to have them in a species specific tank, those lil fish aint gettin all that space to themselves, especially if they only live at the top of the tank. So until I discover some perfect tank mates, its gonna be a male and two females in the 10G.

Any other non killifish possible tank mates? It seems like anything small will get eatin, anything flowy will get nipped, anything that occupies the top of the tank too will be pushed away, but anything bigger will eat it or bite at it.

Long link jeez, but man these look cool. They are like the blues but their finnage isnt flowy like the lyre-tail. Assuming these guys get territorial too they'd be a no, but most sources I'm seeing that they arent too aggressively territorial, mainly within their own species. Big enough tank with cover? 1 males for each species?
eeeehhhhhh??? >_<

 

10 gallons is too small for them long term. Non killifish tankmates could be large cories. Also these fish are incredible jumpers. I had 2 before and they made it out of an inch wide circle.

 

Forsure ill end up upgrading.
Man this species is hard to place with other cool fish.
