Notes

Status specie: Not unanimously confirmed Difficult species to maintain several generations. Optimal development in the first weeks not different from the standard maintenance conditions of the Nothobranchius, but later it is common for them to show a slowdown in their development with a significant number of specimens that do not reach their adult size, possibly due to some deficiency in their diet or most improbably in the composition of the water. The specimens that arrive in good condition to reproduce spawn, but not a large number of eggs and for a rather short period of time. In my experience, it is better in pairs or trios and not in groups. Without a doubt it is a species to study its maintenance.
