種の概要

Fundulopanchax gardneri is a Nothobranchiidae from West Africa. Built for temporary waters — brilliant, brief, and dependent on egg survival through dry spells. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 4.9–7.2 cm. Small groups with floating plants for cover. Keep it covered, cool-to-warm and clean, and harvest eggs if you want the next generation. Maintain 22–25 °C at pH 6–7.2. A rewarding species for the aquarist who reads before buying.
