Notes
Discoverer(s): J. Blache and F. Miton, October 13. 1955.
Status specie: accepted by all authors.
In captivity :A species with a very long incubation period. It can last up
to 7 months at a standard temperature of 22-23 degrees Celsius.
Growth is somewhat slower than that of most Nothobranchius. As if
everything about their existence were slower, their behavior is also
calmer and more immobile compared to other species of the genus.
The spawning period is quite long and prolific. Standard water
temperatures and values are maintained.
Variability: It may be noticeable in some cases
