121. Top 5 Mop-Spawning Killifish

Killifish make for great pets, display fish, and breeding projects. Some of the easiest types to keep and breed are known as non-annual killifish, or mop-spawners! This name comes from the strategy aquarists use to induce spawning behavior – by placing a synthetic yarn mop to encourage breeding and to collect eggs. The Water Colors team discusses some of their favorite killifish that can be bred in this manner, as well as tips and tricks to take on your own project at home!
