Notes

Status specie: Generally accepted. The greatest difficulty of this species lies in its small size at birth and the need to feed it with infusoria for at least the first 7 days. Behavior consistent with the Aphyobranchius group, generally inhabiting the upper part of the aquarium. It is not very common in the hobby, possibly due to the difficulty mentioned above and the less active and spectacular behavior of other subgenera of Nothobranchius.
