Notes
Status specie: accepted by all authors.
The species listed as N. kirki by Bills (2004) has been described as a new
species, N. niassa, by Valdesalici (2012).
Some old references to populations of N.Kirki and aff kirki are currently
N. wattersi.
Long incubation time of eggs (more than 5 months). I keep this species
with a water hardness higher than most other Nothobranchius. They
also bear worse temperatures below 22 degrees Celsius.
