Michael Jensen photo, taken in Denmark 2025

Discovered in the late 1800's, but as early as November of 1905 this species was being kept in aquaria by hobbyists in Germany; a photo of this fish exists today shown below. Innes photographed Blue Gularis in color in the early 20th century and over the years it has been an emblematic and iconic fish, chosen as the logo for the first national Killifish organization - the AKA. In 1998 Horst Gressens collected a new form in Cameroon, far away from the Nigerian coastal forms that did not have the characteristic orange tail, being instead, a sort of pink-lavender color with no orange in the fish at all..

Other than the fact they can eat their weight in Amano shrimp 3 times a day they're perfect for aquascaped tanks. fry juvenile

location Cameroon Nigeria show winners AKA Show winning SJO similar The gularis tail fin is unique by being trilobate or three pointed but other killifish have the same color pattern in the tail and withing the highly variable killifish species there are on occasion individuals of other species in other genera that look alarmingly similar in at least one way, to SJO.
