Aquarium Requirements: Optimal conditions would be just about any clean water with a temperature of about 25 C (77F). Brackish conditions are acceptable, but not required. They will thrive in any well-maintained aquarium.
Food for prolifica would include baby brine shrimp, micro worms, grindal worms and flake foods.
Additional Notes: Poeciliopsis prolifica is a tiny livebearing fish. Rare in the hobby. Spawning is extremely easy, these fish drop fry regularly like Heterandria formosa.
