Genus Aphyoplatys. Aphyop.
— Aphyoplatys duboisi [Poll, 1952] — Dubois’ Panchax. Code: DUB. Synonym: Aplocheilus, Epiplatys duboisi. (Engl.- Dubois’ Panchax). Central Congo basin. Streams and small rivers at a depth of 30 cm. 4 cm. Male is bluish-green with red dots. The blue fins have a red-white edge and dark dots. Tail is torch-shaped, head is orange. Can be kept with peaceful fish of the same size.
However, males behave aggressively towards each other, especially the dominant male. Those lower in the hierarchy are driven away from their small territory. Fish can jump out of the aquarium, so it must be covered with a glass lid on top. Lighting in the aquarium is moderate. Plants are floating, with a developed root system, and rooted ones forming shelters for the fish.
They are very sensitive to any forms of pollution, and regular water changes are necessary. Do not forget about good filtration and regular aquarium cleaning. They eat all types of live foods. Feeding should be abundant, especially during the spawning period, but fish should not be overfed. Sexual maturity at 6 months. pH less than 7; dH up to 15°.
Genus Fenerbahce.
— Fenerbahce formosus [Huber, 1979] — Starhead killi. Code: FOR. Synonym: Adamas formosus. (Engl.- Starhead killi). Western Congo basin. 3-4 cm. Eyes are large, with glowing crescent-shaped scales on the head. Back is brown-green, sides and fins are blue. Body background is azure, depending on the incidence of light, or colored in ivory tones. There are several rows of rusty-red dots and dashes on the body, which pass into the caudal fin as small lines. The caudal fin is elongated in old males along the upper and lower edges. Also, the lower edge of the caudal fin and the dorsal fin have sharp edges.
Females are colored in brown tones, with the belly lighter and the back darker. Also, there are countless red dots on her body. Her fins are transparent and smaller than those of the males. In nature, they keep in schools in open water near the banks. Water is slightly acidic, soft, filtration through peat with temperatures around 22°C. Floating plants and dim lighting contribute to the well-being of the fish. Not aggressive. Fine live food is used in nutrition. Mature in 4 months. Peat fibers and Java moss are best suited for spawning. T 22-24°C.
Genus Foerschichthys. Foe.
— Foerschichthys flavipinnis [Meinken, 1932] — Foerschichthys flavipinnis. Synonym: Aphyoplatys, Aplocheilichthys flavipinnis; Panchax nigeriensis. Savanna areas in Mali, Guinea, Upper Volta, Ghana, Togo, and Nigeria. 4 cm. They are small species with large eyes. The coloration of these fish is greenish, turning to brown on the back and white on the belly. Male is light, bluish-purple, gray-brown, almost yellow-gray, with rare cherry spots, back is brown, belly and gill covers are light green.
Fins (except pectorals) are yellow or yellow-orange. At the base, the fins are blue, then orange with a cherry border and speckles, the tail is lyre-shaped. Dorsal and anal fins are blue, ventral fins in the male are reddish, and in the female colorless. Females are gray or light brown with small dark spots on the body and rounded fins.
Aquarium with a dark back wall, plenty of plants, and top lighting. Adding non-iodized salt to the aquarium (one teaspoon per 4 liters) yields good results. In natural conditions, it forms schools and feels better in a small group than as a pair in a separate aquarium. Adding salt to the aquarium (tsp per 4 l) gives good results. Sexual maturity is reached in 8 months. Easily spawns in slightly acidic water (pH 6.8) with a hardness not exceeding 6° at a temperature of 24°C. Rearing fry requires some patience, as they grow rather slowly.
