بوم شناسي
; آب شيرين موجوداتی که در محدوده وسیعی از آبهای آزاد از نزدیک بستر و یا روی کف بستر، در قسمت های میان آبی تا سطح آب و در برخی گونه ها با قابلیت پرواز، زندگی و تغذیه می کنند.; غير مهاجر. Tropical; 25°N - 10°N, 12°W - 5°E
Africa: a slow flowing creek near Samalofila, southwest of Bamako, and a locality east of Bougouni in southwestern Mali (Ref. 57259).

بلوغ: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 4.0 cm TL جنس نر / بدون خواص جنسي; (Ref. 57259); 4.0 cm TL (female)
خارهاي باله پشتي (کل) : 0; شعاع نرم باله پشتي (کل) : 5 - 7; خارهاي باله مخرجي: 0; شعاع نرم باله مخرجي: 11 - 14. Diagnosis: small and slender ‘Lampeye’ species with rounded unpaired fins and low sexual dimorphism; dorsal fin with 5-7 rays, anal fin with 11-14 rays, displacement between dorsal and anal fins 1/9-12; scales on mid-lateral series 27-30 (Ref. 57259).
Colouration: Male colouration: body colour is pale olive-grey with a light blue iridescence on the sides and a white ventral area; the scales have narrow dark brown to black margins; unpaired fins are mainly pale green; the caudal fin has a grey to black edging to the upper and lower parts, and the dorsal fin displays a grey to black margin; the anal fin has a brown submarginal band; the ventral fins are green (Ref. 57259). Female colouration: the colour pattern is similar to that of the male but much less prominent; the bands in the unpaired fins are also much less distinct (Ref. 57259). Both sexes show a light blue to green reflection in the iris (Ref. 57259).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Found in schools, most commonly in the upper water layers (Ref. 57259). Not a seasonal killifish. Is easy to maintain in the aquarium (Ref. 27139).
