Aplocheilus lineatus

Aplocheilus lineatus is a visually stunning species often recognized for its captivating coloration and distinctive striping. These fish are semi-aggressive and best kept with other similarly-sized species. Ideal for community aquariums, especially with top-dwelling fish, as Aplocheilus lineatus predominantly occupies the upper water column. Secure the tank well as they are known jumpers. Ensure aquatic plants provide plenty of hiding spots and subdued lighting creates a comfort zone for them. These fish boast a life span of up to 5 years when slightly cooler winters are mimicked, replicating their natural environment.
