Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 0; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 13 - 15; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 14 - 16. Diagnosis: Nothobranchius krammeri can be distinguished from all other species of the genus by the following combination of unique characters: 13-15 dorsal fin rays; 14-15 anal fin rays; 24-27 scales in median lateral series, frontal squamation pattern variable, pelvic fin tips not reaching the anus, male body and head scales light blue with pale red to pale orange margin, outer rim of ventral body scales towards the belly yellow, snout reddish, throat orange to yellow, frontal and superior portion of head reddish, anal fin yellowish with a pattern of narrow pale brown lines extending to fin rays, caudal fin pale red with a small black searn along its outer margin, larger on upper and lower angle, sharply delineated hyaline submarginal band (Ref. 79559).
Described from an ephemeral pool which measures approximately 350 m in diameter and no more than 0.75 m deep at centre; banks densely covered with water lilies (Nymphea spp.); water brown, slightly turbid with neutral pH (Ref. 79559).
