Aphyosemion splendopleure is one of the many fish hobbyists refer to collectively as killifish or killies. The male is a very beautiful fish...showing a rainbow of colors depending on the lighting. Females are much more drab. While a bit shy, they are certainly worth waiting on observing. Killifish keepers are a very specialized group of aquarists and I now consider myself to be one(though a very inexperienced one)
These fish are quite picky for normal fish but unlike a few killifish will accept some prepared foods with training. Live and frozen foods are best and what most people use. Prepared food works great if you are unable to get live food for some time or otherwise just to vary the diet a bit. I feed mainly blackworms, chopped redworms, frozen bloodworms, microworms and newly hatched brine shrimp to these. You can order blackworms in bulk quantities online if needed but you must have the means to store them properly. To make this necessary you also need many fish to feed. Killi keepers are notorious for culturing live food for their fish also and this is something to get into if you are keeping killies. Its quite fun actually if you like playing with bugs and worms.
If kept healthy and happy they will spawn. You've got several choices as to what to do. You can remove the eggs...or the plants or mop they were spawned in. In larger colony tanks you can remove the fry or leave them to grow with the adults. Keep in mind older fry will eat younger ones. Most find pairs work best but play around and experiment until you find something correct for you and the fish you are working with. The eggs take mabe a week or so to hatch in the water. If you've collected the eggs change the water they are in every day and removed fungusing eggs. Some store the eggs ontop of wet peat and then when they are eyed up put them in water to hatch. Again...talk with other hobbyists and experiment.
