	Killifish
		Killifish are well-known for their adaptability and many species inhabit bodies of water that dry up during the dry season.
		Although Killifish inhabit a range of habits, most are usually at home is a shallow tank with little or no water circulation.
		Killifish are usually fairly good community fish when combined with other small, peaceful species that can exist is similar water conditions.

	Tropical Fish: Killifish
		Most killifish prefer slightly lower temperatures than other tropical fish; it is not a good idea to mix them with tropical tankmates which demand warmer water as increasing the tank temperature can short the Killifish lifespan.
		To spawn egg hanging killifish the adults should be kept in a tank with plenty of fine-leaved plants or an artificial spawning mop, while egg-buriers require a tank with a peat bottom into which the eggs are buried.
		Killifish should not be kept with tank mates that demand very warm water, as the increased temperature will shorten their lifespan.

	KILLI-DATA ONLINE - Introduction to Killifish
		Killifish are secondary freshwater fishes, i.e., primarily living in freshwaters today but originating from marine coastal waters in the remote past.
		Killifishes, or oviparous Cyprinodonts, live in reclusive waters (usually creeks, temporary pools, overfloods, and margins of lakes and rivers), primarily in coastal lowlands, but also in highlands, where they are quasi exclusive (photos in BIOTOPES): they are then very different from the standard ichthyofauna that lives in rivers, such as Cichlids, Barbs, Characids, etc.
		Killifishes, or oviparous Cyprinodonts, are among the most beautiful freshwater aquarium fishes: look to the few photos of their BEAUTIES (there are 1750 photos in the data base!) and you will understand why they are so attractive to aquarists.

		Scientists are using killifish from the Nothobranchius genus to study the effects of aging.
		According to a paper in the latest issue of the journal Aging Cell, Nothobranchius can be used to test the effects of aging at a pace comparable to that seen with other model organisms such as the fruit fly, Drosophila.
		One killifish species, N. furzeri, has been singled out as being particularly well-suited to aging studies as it has a typical lifespan of only three months.
