Least Killifish eating Vinegar Eels


Least Killifish eating Vinegar Eels

Buy Least Killifish locally on Craigslist: 
 or Buy Least Killifish on Amazon (paid link): 

I keep Least Killifish in this aquarium.


And here I have a culture of Vinegar Eels.

Let's drop some Vinegar Eels in the aquarium.


Vinegar Eels are tiny nematodes commonly used for feeding newborn fish.



 Adult Least Killifish grow less than one inch long making them one of the smallest fish in the world.
Here you can see the Least Killifish male and female start picking on Vinegar Eels.

Less than 2 mm tiny Vinegar Eels are hard to see from this far.

Let's zoom in...
There are hundreds of Vinegar Eels swimming around!

The male Least Killifish picks them one by one.


And the female came to join the party too.

Vinegar Eels breed proficiently in apple vinegar and survive for many hours and even days in water.

All small size fish enjoy eating Vinegar Eels as you can see here.

Vinegar Eels swim in a wriggle motion up to the surface making it a very attractive snack for fish.


Another adult Least Killifish picks Vinegar Eels at the top of the tank.

And a tiny baby fish on the top left is also hunting Vinegar Eels.


Have fun and happy fish :)
