Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I love to hear about all the different fish, although now I may never have enough aquariums.

Thanks for watching! There's no such thing as enough aquariums...

Just a note on the Golden Wonder Killifish, the lifespan is usually 3 years not 2. Some fish live much longer, Our Gladys is a female Golden Wonder, about 41/2" and is close to 5 years old. She lost her mate (Pete) about 6 months ago to cancer. They were prolific breeders for us and we elected to keep several of the fry and now we have 5 pairs in a 40 Breeder tank. Average age is about 21/2 years old and all are quite healthy. 2 tips for Golden Wonders, #1 Keep a lid on the tank! They are jumpers, and #2 include insect larvae in their diet. We give them Northfin Bug Pro but any quality larvae will do. This is their natural food and they absolutely go nuts for it. Wonders are big eaters so make sure to feed them a varied diet on a daily basis. Good luck with your store!

Thanks for all the tips! The lifespan for golden wonders is also dependent on the temperature. Keeping them in an 80° community tank will shorten their lifespan a bit.
