Very nice :) looks like Aphyosemion gardneri. I had a pair some time back in just a softwater comunity tank with nothing too aggressive and they did fine for a couple of years.

These are not annuals and may live for three to five years. You may well be able to breed them :)

Thats what im hoping in the shop there where to having some fun in the corner. I got those two but some how the male manged to jump out of a tank with a lid on every since i got him but i guess he was a ninja. This male seems to be a lot more less jumpy then the last. So fingers crossed

Killis jump. They jump a lot!
Those killis you've got, breeds very easily. So there's a good chance you will get some small ones. But the parents also eat their own children (they eat anything they can stuff into their mouth), so any fry must be moved.
