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]

Distribution

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: It's very thaumaturgic. You should make a build tool which automatically shuffles the coords around and puts the modules into place.

gollark: Cool! The language is more powerful than you think, I guess. Did you find out if it was TC?

gollark: What do you mean a "self hook"?

gollark: Or twice maybe, we'll be nice.

gollark: Heavpoot: how about functions with a linear type thing such that they can only be used once.
