About Norman's Lampeye Killifish

The Norman's Lampeye Killifish (Poropanchax normani), is a small, peaceful, and hardy schooling fish famous for its brightly iridescent blue eyes that appear to glow under proper lighting. Growing to about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm), these fish feature a slender, elongated, and subtly shimmering blue-hued body. They are ideal for nano and planted aquariums, preferring groups of six or more and inhabiting the middle to upper water column. They are suitable for beginners and community tanks with appropriately sized, non-aggressive tank mates.
