Nannostomus mortenthaleri
Nannostomus mortenthaleri, commonly known as the coral red pencilfish, is a freshwater species of fish belonging to the characin family Lebiasinidae.[3] It is one of the most colourful of the genus, being suffused with a bright coral red colouration over its entire body and fins, in striking contrast to its horizontal jet black stripes. It was originally described as a subspecies of Nannostomus marginatus, but it is now recognised as a species in its own right.[2] Mature males have a thickened anal fin. Maximun length is 29mm.[2]

Its distribution is fairly restricted to date; it has only been recorded from a small tributary of the Nanay River, and possibly the Tigre River, Peru.[2]

gollark: Not that it'll ever be used, but you know.
gollark: I'm going to work on a "safe mode" toggle for the network which switches security to maximum, shuts off wireless access, disconnects autocrafting, and cuts off the P2P controller, so it can only be accessed via the dedicated terminals.
gollark: You must have a really inefficient ME network, <@404656680496791554>.
