Nothobranchius foerschi
Nothobranchius foerschi is a species of killifish in the family Nothobranchiidae.[2] It is endemic to Tanzania. Its natural habitat is probably temporary pools.[1] The specific name honours the German physician and aquaris Walter Foersch (1932-1993), who was an expert in killifish and was one of the first people to keep and breed this species.[3]
