As several African killi species(e.g. Clown killi), Lyretail killi is 'high jumper'. If someone decides to keep this species without hardscape, he or she should cover the top of fish tanks. According to several killifish lovers, however, they succeeded to prevent fatal jumps by dense aquarium plants. Complicated aquascape also reduce the possibility of jump.

Since its body looks brown in nature, breeders in profession have developed various morphs from the wild form; GOLD, ORANGE and CHOCOLATE. Aphyosemion australe 'GOLD' is the most popular group among these three major morphs. Although this group is known for brilliant red body and delicate dots spreading on both sides, these characteristics only appear among mature males. Females have simple yellow color.
