Before you order: is Roter Purpurziersalmler-Nannostomus mortenthaleri right for your tank?

Animals and plants differ in their demands on water parameters, tank size and tank mates. Please check the details in the tabs below before you buy. If you are unsure, just get in touch before ordering — we are happy to advise.

Nannostomus mortenthaleri occurs in the Rio Nanay basin in the Peruvian region of Loreto as well as in the nearby Rio Tigre. The species was first described in 2001 as a subspecies of the dwarf pencilfish and has been considered independent since 2003.

The body is elongated and spindle shaped, the upper side brownish with three longitudinal bands on each side. Adult males show intense red colouring between the bands reaching to the caudal fin base, while females are yellowish in the same area.

We ship on working days only, by specialised animal courier, arriving within 24 hours of dispatch. The animals travel temperature-insulated and watertight, packed to suit the outside temperature.
