Daget’s Panchax

Daget’s Panchax

Also called the Red-Chinned Panchax and the Fire Mouth Killi, Daget’s Panchax is native to Liberia, Ghana and the Ivory Coast. These fish tend to inhabit small streams and ponds in lowland coastal areas and, because they typically live in bodies of permanent water, they are not considered an annual species. Daget’s Panchax earned their nickname Red-Chinned Panchax from the orange-red stripe edged in black that many specimens exhibit on the chin. Other distinguishing characteristics of this species include 5 to 7 vertical black stripes on the body and yellowish green fins.
