Kribi killi (Fundulopanchax fallax)^[3] is a species of African killifish that mainly inhabit swamps and turbid parts of brooks in the coastal rainforest. The species is endemic to Cameroon.^[4] Adult fish reach a maximum length of approximately 9 centimetres (3.5 inches).^[5] Breeding pairs of the species most often lay their eggs over the bottom, but occasionally also among the roots of free-floating aquatic plants. Pairs stay close for some time, with just a few eggs being produced each day. It is sometimes kept in captivity but difficult to maintain and breed in an aquarium.^[5]
