Celebrate the fleeting brilliance of one of the aquarium hobby’s most dazzling species with the Born to Shine, Gone Too Soon – Bluefin Nothobranch Tee. This retro hand-sketched design showcases the vivid reds and electric blues of Nothobranchius rachovii, framed with bold linework and supported by a cracked hourglass — a striking symbol of the killifish’s famously short annual lifespan.
With earthy muted tones accented by bold highlights, the centered layout balances vintage charm with modern wit. The typography, “Born to Shine, Gone Too Soon,” is a nod every killifish enthusiast understands, making this shirt a conversation starter as much as a tribute.
Crafted from a soft cotton blend, the tee is comfortable, breathable, and perfect for everyday wear — whether you’re at a fish club meeting, browsing your favorite aquarium store, or simply enjoying time in your fishroom.
🎨 Design highlight: Retro sketch of Nothobranchius rachovii with cracked hourglass and witty typography.
🐠 Perfect for: Killifish keepers, rare fish collectors, and aquarists with a taste for meaningful design.
👕 Fit & Feel: Soft cotton blend, lightweight, and made for all-day comfort.
For those who know the joy — and the bittersweet brevity — of annual killifish, this tee is a stylish tribute to the Bluefin Nothobranch, the jewel of the killifish world.
