Tank size and water parameters
A 10-20 gallon (38-75 L) tank suits most species, often as a species tank. Target 68-78°F (20-26°C), pH 6.0-7.5 (species-dependent), soft to moderate water, zero ammonia and nitrite, nitrate under 20 ppm. Keep males with several females; cover the tank as some jump.

Key errors: assuming all killifish are the same (annual vs non-annual differ hugely); flake-only diets that dull them; multiple males fighting in too small a tank; and warm stagnant water they dislike.
