Also called the Lyretail Killifish, this species was one of the first Killifish to become popular in the aquarium hobby. Unlike many Killifish, Cape Lopez Lyretails are not annual fish and can be found in permanent bodies of water throughout parts of Africa in Gabon, Cameroon, Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo. These fish have elongated bodies that are typically brownish yellow or orange in color, marked with many small red spots. The fins of these fish are long and pointed and the outer rays of the caudal fin are elongated, giving these fish the “lyretail” name.
