Unique Fish, Can Self-fertilize

I am very interested in the Mangrove Killifish because of its hermaphroditic reproductive system. This is the first time I know of a fish that can fertilize itself. Unfortunately, Mangrove Killifish often eat their eggs, so there have been few successful fish eggs until now.

Pros and Cons Based on Reviews

  • Can fertilize itself
  • Has a slender body
  • Often eats its own eggs

About Mangrove Killifish Care Guide

The Mangrove Killifish is a small and slender fish in the superfamily Rivulidea. As its name suggests, it usually lives in mangroves, hills, marshes, or other dry places. Its reproductive system is hermaphrodite, which means it is self-fertilized. However, the Mangrove Killifish is also known as a cannibal, as it often eats its own eggs.
