OverviewEpiplatys dageti, commonly known as the Yellowtail Killifish, is a captivating freshwater fish from the Killifish family (Aplocheilidae). With its sleek body and distinct yellow or orange-coloured tail, this species makes a beautiful addition to any aquarium. Its body is generally silver or light brown with subtle blue or green iridescence. Males display more vibrant colors, especially during courtship or when establishing dominance, while females have a more subdued appearance.
Origin
Epiplatys dageti is native to the slow-moving rivers, streams, and pools in West Africa, particularly in countries like Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. These regions provide calm and shaded water bodies with dense vegetation, mimicking the ideal habitat for this species.
Feeding
In the wild, Epiplatys dageti is an opportunistic carnivore, feeding primarily on small insects, larvae, and tiny invertebrates. In captivity, it can adapt well to a varied diet. Feeding them a mix of high-quality flakes, pellets, frozen foods, and occasional live foods like brine shrimp or daphnia will ensure they stay healthy and vibrant. To keep their diet balanced, try to incorporate both protein-rich foods and some vegetation-based options.
Tank Mates
The Yellowtail Killifish can coexist peacefully with other small, non-aggressive fish that prefer similar conditions. Suitable tank mates include:
Small tetras (e.g., neon or cardinal tetras)
Peaceful rasboras
Corydoras catfish
Other non-aggressive Killifish species
Avoid larger, more aggressive fish, as they may intimidate or outcompete Epiplatys dageti.
Aggression
Generally considered peaceful, Epiplatys dageti may show some aggression toward their own species, particularly males establishing a hierarchy or defending territory. This is especially noticeable in smaller tanks. To reduce aggression, keep only one male per tank unless you have a spacious environment with plenty of hiding spots. Adding dense vegetation and hiding spaces can help reduce tensions.
Experience Level
Epiplatys dageti is best suited for aquarists with some experience, as they have specific water parameter requirements and can be sensitive to water quality fluctuations. They are, however, easier to keep than some other Killifish, making them a good intermediate choice for aquarists looking to expand their expertise.
Water Parameters
Temperature: 72-77°F (22-25°C)
pH: 6.0 - 7.5 (preferably slightly acidic)
Hardness: 2-10 dGH (soft to moderately hard water)
Tank Size: 10 gallons or larger
A well-maintained tank with subdued lighting and plenty of plants will best replicate their natural habitat. Regular water changes are essential to keep ammonia and nitrate levels low, as Killifish species are sensitive to poor water conditions.

works quickly
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
This Aquaphor ointment has been the best thing combined with the cotton white gloves for my dry and cracked fingers. In the winter or even when I am in the kitchen a lot and my hands are in the hard AZ water, this is a great treatment to help heal my skin and ease the discomfort. Just after one or two nights of using the two combined, my skin is renewed and healing.

Good for the skin

I’ve been using Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced and it’s honestly been a lifesaver for my skin. I apply it on dry areas like my lips, hands, and even small dry patches, and it helps them feel soft and moisturized really fast.
I like that it has a thick texture, so it really locks in moisture and protects the skin. It’s especially good at night when my skin feels extra dry because I wake up with everything feeling way smoother.
It’s also very gentle, so I don’t get any irritation when I use it. Overall, it’s one of those products I always keep at home because it works so well for healing and keeping my skin hydrated.

Good product. Here's a tip for best results.
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
This is a very thick product, almost Vaseline-like in consistency (it's main ingredient is petrolatum). If you apply it to dry skin, it's going to be very difficult to spread and not do you much good. Apply to damp skin after a bath or shower to facilitate application, hold the moisture from the water in your skin, and give you the best results.

Fast results
Style: MULTIBALM, Style: MULTIBALM
This moisturizing stick is incredible. This is by far the best beauty product I have tried. I had a noticeable difference in my skins appearance in just a couple days. Week 2 my skin is brighter, clearer, softer, bouncier, and just looks overall more healthy. I have tried numerous products for day and night time. I have been using the multi balm stick twice a day and am so impressed. I wait a few minutes to apply make up as it needs a bit to soak in but I was happy it does work well under your make up. Also has a light sweet fragrance with no irritation.
