About
Nothobranchius steinforti is a seldom-described and rarely traded annual killifish from the coastal lowlands of Mozambique. Males display the classic Nothobranchius combination of vivid red body scaling and blue-edged fins. It requires standard annual killifish management including peat spawning substrate and dry egg incubation, and is best suited to experienced keepers.
