Description
Anablepsoides lungi is a small, slender annual killifish known for its brownish-gold body and a distinct lateral stripe. Native to the Amazon basin in Brazil, these fish are often kept in species-specific setups due to their unique breeding cycles and relatively short lifespans. They thrive in well-planted aquariums with soft, acidic water.
