Notes

Status specie: Accepted generally. The greatest difficulty in breeding and maintaining this species is due to its small size at birth. Feeding with infusoria is essential during the first week. After all, it is not a difficult fish nor is it very different from the maintenance conditions of the majority of the Genus Nothobranchius.
