Aphyosemion australe<\/a> breeding report. This beautiful little (max. 6 cms.) killifish comes from Gabon in West Africa. It is a member of the\u00a0Aphyosemion calliurum\u00a0group which includes about eight other species. The body shape is typical of other fish of this genus in that it is slender and cylindrical with the wide mouth slanted upwards and the lower jaw protruding slightly. The male of the species is endowed with a beautiful lyretail edged with chocolate brown, (the other color morph is orange) and tipped with white. The body of the male and female is greenish brown to silvery grey. Both males and females have red spots (more and brighter on the male) speckled over the body and into the fins. The males also sport small red wavy lines on their head and gill covers. Females are rather drab silver grey with clear rounded fins and appear the same as most other female\u00a0aphyosemion\u00a0species. These fish are for the most part very peaceful although males will spar, tearing each other’s fins. (Rips seem very slow to heal and may never heal entirely.) They are also excellent jumpers and can hit the tiniest opening in the tank or jar cover so, keep them tightly covered.<\/p>\n
