Etymology: Nannostomus: Latin, nannus = small + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335); grandis: The species is named after its maximum length. With over 46 mm SL, this is the largest known Nannosomus article. From grandis, meaning "large".

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Similar to Nannostomus beckfordi but it can be distinguished by having a more elongated body, body depth 4.66-5.35 times in SL (vs. 4.3-5.0 times in SL), head length 4.46 [4.39-4.50] vs. 3. 8 [3.5 to 4.0] times in SL, larger body size, maximum length 46.2 mm SL (vs. max. 35.0 mm SL), and completely different coloration in life (e.g. ventral-fins colorless in Nannostomus grandis vs. with milky white tips in Nannostomus beckfordi) (Ref. 88928).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00631 (0.00270 - 0.01474), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
