Two Stripe Lyretail Killifish Aphyosemion Bivittatum 3cm

Overview: The Two Stripe Lyretail Killifish, scientifically known as Aphyosemion bivittatum, is a captivating addition to any freshwater aquarium. This small, yet vibrant species is renowned for its striking coloration and unique tail fin shape. Males display a dazzling array of colors, with two distinct longitudinal stripes that run the length of their body, complemented by a lyre-shaped tail fin. Females are subtler in color but share the same elegant finnage. They typically reach up to 2.5 inches in length, making them a perfect choice for nano and community tanks.

Origin: Native to the dense, shaded streams and pools of Central Africa, Aphyosemion bivittatum thrives in environments with plenty of plant cover and soft, acidic water. Their habitat ranges from Cameroon to the Congo, where they are adapted to life in fluctuating water conditions.

Feeding: Two Stripe Lyretail Killifish are omnivores with a preference for live foods. Their diet in the wild consists of small insects, larvae, and crustaceans. In the aquarium, they can be fed a variety of foods including live or frozen brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms, as well as high-quality flake foods. Regular feeding of live foods can enhance their coloration and overall health.

Tank Mates: Being peaceful and somewhat shy, Aphyosemion bivittatum does well with other small, non-aggressive fish. Ideal tank mates include small tetras, rasboras, and other killifish species. It's important to avoid housing them with large or aggressive fish that may intimidate or harm them. A densely planted tank with plenty of hiding spots is ideal for these fish to thrive.

Aggression: This species exhibits very low levels of aggression and is often more likely to be on the receiving end of bullying from larger, more aggressive tank mates. Males may show mild territorial behavior towards each other but rarely cause harm. Providing adequate space and hiding places can minimize any potential stress.

Experience Level: Aphyosemion bivittatum is suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists. While not the most demanding species, they do require stable water conditions and a specific diet to maintain their health and coloration. Knowledge of breeding killifish can also enhance the keeping experience, as they have fascinating breeding behaviors.

Water Parameters:
  • Temperature: 72°F to 77°F (22°C to 25°C)
  • pH: 5.5 to 7.0
  • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water
  • Water change: Regular, to maintain clean and stable conditions
The Two Stripe Lyretail Killifish offers a blend of beauty, elegance, and a touch of rarity. With their striking appearance and interesting behaviors, they are sure to be a standout in any aquarium setup. Proper care and attention to their needs will ensure these exquisite fish thrive, providing an enchanting display for years to come.

Love this stuff!
Style: SPF 50
I use this every day and I love how it is frangrance free and creamy. I have a very fair complexion and I will say it leaves a slight white cast but it doesn’t bother me because it almost makes my fairness more creamy looking. My skin texture has improved since wearing it daily and no allergies from it. I highly recommend especially if you have fairer skin otherwise it may leave a cast .

Excellent mineral sunscreen with minimal white cast.
Style: SPF 50
This is one of the healthier sunscreens I’ve found so far. You’re not likely going to find a mineral sunscreen that doesn’t leave some white cast. However, this one rubs in pretty good with minimal cast. You can dab on and rub in fairly easily… as long as you don’t use too much the white cast should be minimal. I am not sure how well this would work on darker skin tones. My arms are a medium skin tone… my legs are more of a light-medium tone. I prefer mineral sunscreens, and this is the best one I found so far and compatible to Supergoop mineral play. If you liked that one, you would likely enjoy this Coola one too.

Would not recommend
Style: SPF 50
I literally never write reviews but felt compelled to write one for this sunscreen because I was very caught off guard by all the positive reviews. This sunscreen leaves the most insane white sheen that never soaks in and gets on EVERYTHING. I put this on and drove to the beach and had sunscreen on my car seat, the steering wheel, the center console, the door, EVERYWHERE! It took forever to clean up and was such a hassle and that was after having let the sunscreen soak into my skin for an hour. Also the sunscreen is really thick and difficult to spread and makes you look ghostly white. Plus, the sunscreen has a really odd odor that reminded me of play dough? That might not be a negative thing for everyone but I found it unpleasant. There are definitely better mineral sunscreens out there. For the price I expected a much better product.

Sticky and white
Style: SPF 50
The sunscreen has a very sticky and thick texture. It will keep you from getting sunburnt, but it will also leave you with a white color.

Good sunscreen
Style: SPF 50
Super good coverage and it lasts a long time in the sun and even through water activities. The only negative is the white cast. Not as bad as others but just be aware it doesn’t fully rub in.
