Notes
Status specie: Generally accepted.
Discoverer(s): John Rosenstock, December 4. 1979.
Morphologically, it could be said that there are several species due to the
great variability between some of their populations. The most common in
the hobby, Kayuni State Farm, has a maintenance without great difficulties.
According to the standard values for the majority of Nothobranchius,
however, others such as Chunga and Nega Nega I had great difficulties in
obtaining acceptable spawning and are currently very rare or have
disappeared from the hobby, which possibly confirms some peculiarity of
different maintenance.
