Endemic to the Atlantic coastal river basins of Uruguay, this striking annual is slipping away as its seasonal wetlands are drained and built over. Owning a pair is a real chance to help hold the line for a species running out of wild ground. A true standout for the serious annual killifish keeper.
Care: Annual species. Spawns in peat, eggs incubate 1 to 2 months.
Conservation status: this fish is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List (the global scientific ranking of how close a species is to extinction).
