The Golden Wonder Killifish is a freshwater aquarium fish that is native to India. It is also known as the Malabar killi, or the striped panchax. It is one of the larger killifish species. Its scientific name is Aplocheilus lineatus, and it is one of the easier species to keep, feed, and breed. In this high definition video, these beautiful killifish are seen jumping out of the water to catch live crickets from a branch several inches above them. The video also explains some of the unique adaptations that enable this killi to hunt in the dark, as well as how to tell a male from a female. It also explains the functions and survival value of it's third eye. In a follow up video that is soon to be released I will look at how to breed this killi.

    gotta love the smallest male in the middle staring us down for a good few minutes, before eating the cricket after everyone else didn't touch it

    Never knew the killifish would eat a small enough guppy until the 2 I had went missing, they were very well fed but didn't matter. Thankfully the killi does live well with anything slightly larger. I have a single dwarf gourami and they don't fight and feed together without issues.

    I don't usually read too much about Killies in general, but three eyes!? I'm off to find more information on this evolutionary marvel. As usual, your cinematography is outstanding. The amount of work and patience that goes into making these short films must be staggering. Amazing.
