These carnivores prefer a diet of small insects, larvae and crustaceans. Striped panchax will accept a variety of store bought foods in the aquarium but live, meaty foods should always be incorporated into their diet for maximum nutrition.

Sexing

The males of this species tend to be more colorful with longer flowing fins. They are slimmer and their stripes are usually not as apparent as females. Females exhibit more subdued colors and are slightly plumper.

The Striped Panchax lays buoyant eggs that will remain among vegetation floating at the water’s surface. These eggs take approximately 2 weeks to hatch and the fry are big enough to consume newly hatched brine shrimp.

Lifespan

This killifish, unlike some of its relatives, have a long lifespan of up to 4 years. Since they inhabit waters that do not dry up seasonally, they do not die off each year.

Origin

Striped panchax are native to India of South Asia.
