About Tanganyikan Killifish
Lamprichthys tanganicanus is the only killifish species endemic to Lake Tanganyika, an elegant, elongated fish that shoals actively over rocky areas with open water nearby. Unlike many killifish it's a genuine egg-layer rather than a livebearer, and its peaceful nature makes it an easy, active addition to a Tanganyika biotope tank.
