Neofundulus acutirostratus, Costa, 1992
History

The history of this Neofundulus acutirostrattus is short and clear. Costa described the species and not any person has had it in his tanks or have seen or study the species in life.

It is always good to have animals in life to study the reproductional behaviour and life colours as wel.

The species was discovered in Brazil and lives in the rio São Francisco area in the state of Minas Gerais.
