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: The current state of the art in "printing constant text really fast" is probably contained in a reddit thread talking about the performance of GNU yes.

gollark: I actually know some stuff about this!

gollark: Obviously IPv6 is beneficial for intra- and inter-apiary routing.

gollark: 6214 is an extension of 1149 with IPv6 support.
