Small killifish

[Cole]

I’ve been doing some research looking for a pair of killifish to go with a 20 long community tank of CPD’s, otos, shrimp, and a hillstream loach. I’m trying to find options of killis that don’t get very big and stay in that nano size but will pop some shrimplets from time to time so they don’t get out of control. What do you all recommend? I know the clown killi but looking at other options as well. Thank you.

Any other options other than a clown killi to look at as well?

if you do get clown killies I'd get at least a trio (2f, 1m). I find the boys hassle the girls non stop. It looks exhausting!

Yep with the shrimp I’m okay if they are hunters and will eat some shrimplets that keeps the population from getting out of hand I don’t want to have to cull shrimp all the time haha. That’s why I want the nano variations of killis so they will pray on the young shrimp
