I have two pair of Least Killifish that are always having new fry. I have some floating plants now but I'll be re doing the tank and I don;t want any floating plants. How will this affect the fry? I'll have a lot of plants and drift wood along with several nooks and crannies for the fry to hide in.

I'm not trying to breed any thing. I just like these little fish.
Thanks for any input!!

Don't have hands on with this particular kili, but my A. australe and C. pigmaeus produced low fry numbers in aquariums with lots of plants and especially mosses. A good bunch of moss will help a lot in fry survival. Also fine mesh on filter intake, the kind used in shrimp tanks.

Have fun watching the fry.
