Short description
पहचान कुंजी | आकृति विज्ञान | मौरफोमैटरिक्स
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 0; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 14 - 17; गुदा कांटा: 0; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 13 - 19. Diagnosis: Nothobranchius makondorum males are distinguished from those of the related N. melanospilus and N. lucius by a complete black margin around the red caudal fin vs. plain red caudal fin with a narrow black margin at the upper and lower corners in N. melanospilus, red-brown and orange-red with broad black margin in N. lucius, and light blue iris vs. silver in N. melanospilus; females are distinguished from those of N. melanospilus and N. lucius by grey spots on the sides vs. black in N. melanospilus, brown in N. lucius, and absence of spots on the head and unpaired fins vs. spotted unpaired fins in N. melanospilus and spotted head and unpaired fins in N. lucius (Ref. 83514).
Annual species; found in water-filled depressions on the floodplain of rivers and creeks or remnant pools of seasonal creeks; water in all pools turbid; during dry season, pools mostly dry up; usually no aquatic vegetation, but grasses may be present only at the margins of the water bodies; if aquatic vegetation is present, it may include Nymphea, Ottelia, Lagarosiphon, and Utricularia species; no associated fish species were observed (Ref. 83514).
