Yo homeboy,

According to http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/Spec...y.php?id=11884, that fish is hard to keep in captivity. This site mentions a few easy to keep killifish: http://www.elmersaquarium.com/10killiefish.htm. The first and second ones are sweet. They had the first kind at The Pet Shanty.
I was really interested in killies for a long time but eventually got dissuaded by a breeder who told me they should be kept as breeding pairs in 5 gallon tank. He also told me that they'd be hard to take care of. I think i might consider giving it a try with my 55.
