🔥 Blue Gularis — “Dwarf Red” Variant

Rare Color. Local Lines. Maximum Flex.

This is the Dwarf Red Blue Gularis — a compact, fire‑toned twist on one of West Africa’s most iconic killifish. Instead of the giant, tank‑dominating size of standard gularis, this line stays smaller, sharper, and way more display‑friendly, while still throwing that signature neon‑red flash and electric spotting that makes the species legendary.

Raised in small, controlled batches right here at the Shed, these fish come in stable, vibrant, and already thriving. No import stress. No mystery genetics. Just clean, boutique‑quality killifish with attitude.

⚡ Why This Fish Sells Itself

  • Dwarf Red line = compact size, concentrated color

  • Local, hobbyist‑bred = stable, adapted, zero surprises

  • Insane patterning = red flames, blue spotting, metallic sheen

  • Front‑of‑tank personality = bold, curious, always showing off

  • High‑end aquascape appeal = looks rare because it is

This is the kind of fish that makes people stop mid‑sentence and ask what they’re looking at. Perfect for planted nanos, soft‑water showcases, or anyone who wants a killifish that hits like a centerpiece without needing a 40‑gallon footprint.
