Description
Archiaphyosemion guineense is a beautiful, small killifish native to West Africa, known for its vibrant coloration, often featuring iridescent blues, greens, and reds. These annual killifish are typically peaceful but males can display territorial behavior towards rivals. They thrive in well-planted aquariums with soft, slightly acidic water.
