To keep your Clown Killifish happy, their habitat should be well lit, water parameters excellent, and a gentle current from the filter set. If you give your clown Killies these conditions, they can live for 5 years!

Rocket Killie

Clown Killies are also known as rocket killies and banded panchax. Coming from western Africa, they are found in southern Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The Clown Killifish is a peaceful micro-predator that feeds primarily on tiny flying insects and invertebrates.

😊 Can we expect some clowning around?

Clown Killifish are shy (they are rather small) but they will become more playful when in a group, so expect some interesting schooling behaviour. They even enjoy jumping out of the water for some fun! Make sure to keep their tank lid tightly fitted so that these fish can have as much space as possible to live and play around without the risk of an excursion on the floor.

😊 A unique look

Clown Killifish are also called Rocket Killies because they resemble tiny rockets. In addition, they have torpedo-shaped bodies that help them swim up for food, and they even appear as a fishy clown with round heads and spade-like tails.

😊 Keeping Clown Killifish in the Aquarium

You can choose to house Clown Killies in larger community tanks that are already occupied by other species. The downside is the fish won't reproduce as often if they're placed with another type of inhabitant, so you should know what kind of goal you have for keeping these types of fishes before giving them a home.

😊 Are these fish easy to breed?

If you have a male and female in your tank, don't worry about mating. Just maintain healthy water parameters to keep them alive, and they will breed when it's the right time every month! Clown Killies are prolific parents who can produce up to 25 fry per cycle - twice each month until their population numbers get out of hand!

😊 Feeding your Clown Killies

Clown Killies are carnivores that need a lot of meaty protein, but they can only eat tiny portions. They lay in wait for the insects to land on the water's surface and then eat their prey - or what could be considered for them a tasty meat morsel!

Ideally, in captivity, we can try mimicking what can be in the natural environment: baby brine shrimp 1-2 times a day should do it!

There is advice on other foods on the internet but realistically, sticking with brine shrimp for a treat is good enough and achievable without spending a fortune.

Warm Blanket Read
Format: Paperback
Wow, I didn’t know how much I needed this and I inhaled it. I needed to feel a bit of summer. I needed a small town. What I didn’t know I needed was a big love story. This was perfect and escapist. A perfect read to make you feel good and characters to swoon over. Can’t wait for the show now.

The perfect summer romance in a beautiful setting!
Format: Kindle
I give this book 4.75 stars rounded up to five for the purposes of this review. I really liked this story and flew through! Anyone looking for a great summer romance can find it here. This was my first Carley Fortune book, but I’d like to read more (and plan to read the sequel to this one very soon). It was so fun to experience Percy and Sam’s relationship as it developed from close friends at the age of thirteen to something much more as they got older. Their relationship was so deep and respectful. They knew everything about each other and shared so many wonderful experiences together. It felt like a very natural evolution from friendship to romance (although I did want to smack Sam a couple times, but he was young, so I’ll give him a pass). And the setting of Barry’s Bay was a beautiful, relaxing place. I wish I could live in a cabin on that lake! There were some great side characters in this book too. Sue was such a kind, loving person. Charlie was sometimes difficult to like, but he really wasn’t a bad person. Delilah definitely annoyed me at times, but she turned out to be such a good friend to Percy. I wish we’d gotten a little bit more of Chantal, because she also seemed like an amazing friend. I don’t always like a miscommunication trope in terms of breakups in romances, but this one actually made sense, because Percy and Sam were so young and trying to figure themselves out, as well as their romantic relationship. So, that part of it didn’t turn me off the overall story. I loved the ending (it made me cry), although I wish Sue’s storyline could have been different. In my opinion, this was the perfect summer romance, so if that’s what you’re looking for, I would definitely encourage you to read it!

An Amazing Debut! Dual Timeline, Second Chance Romance, and very well written!!
Format: Paperback
4.5/5 stars ⭐️ 304 pages 📚 🎶 Right Where You Left Me - Taylor Swift “They knew. Some people are lucky like that. They meet their best friend, the love of their life, and are wise enough to never let go.” In case you needed anyone else on Booksta to tell you to read this book, PLEASE go read this book!! I had very high expectations after seeing dozens of raving reviews and the story met every one! We follow Sam and Percy in a dual timeline (from Percy’s POV) through flashbacks of their teenage summers and their reunion over a decade later. I adored the flashback chapters. Watching Sam and Percy grow from awkward 13 year olds into early adulthood was nostalgic. It’ll take you back to your own childhood and the excitement and nerves of experiencing your first love. Though I did suspect what the cause of their breakup would be, it didn’t take away from any of the emotions or heartbreak I felt during those scenes! Carley has a very captivating writing style and you’ll fall in love with aspects of every character. I only felt like the last 15% was a bit rushed! The buildup was fantastic, and the betrayal was anticipated, but I was hoping for a little bit more out of the conflict, how it affected other relationships, and moving on. An extended epilogue would’ve been perfect for this book! For a debut novel, Carley did outstanding and I’m excited to see what she comes up with next! Read this if you enjoy: ⏰ dual timeline ✨ second chance romance 💖 best friends to strangers to lovers ☀️ summer vibes! 🌊 small town romance 👩‍👦‍👦 emphasis on family If you enjoyed Love and Other Words, you will LOVE this! Very similar style and vibes.

Phenomenal
Format: Kindle
Truly a wonderful read. I picked it up after absolutely falling in love with her latsest novel 'Our Perfeect Storm' (another good read), convinced that Carley Fortune is going to be the next big thing in romance. After finishing this book, im a believer. Its filled with tension and heartbreak, and laughter. It made me sob, it made me giggle, it even made me a little giddy. I could not put it down, and I'm sure you wont either, if you're already here.

Not my favorite by her
Format: Paperback
I have to say that Carley Fortune can write a really beautiful love story. I enjoyed this one but not nearly as much as This Summer Will be Different. Sam is absolutely precious and his brother Charlie is trouble with a capital T but in the funniest and sweetest way (for the most part). And Percy's journey from 13 to 30 is a nice development throughout. I enjoy the multiple timelines and to see Percy and Sam's love for each other grow from meeting the summer they turn 13. This story is both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. SPOILER: DON'T READ FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT ANYTHING SPOILED!!! I was ready to give this book at least a 3.5 ⭐ until the cheating with the brother. Of course it was a one time regrettable mistake, but I am auto out on a cheating trope. And making it with his brother just sets the relationship up for failure no matter how many promises of forgiveness. But that's just my opinion. So be warned.
