Description
The Córrego Toothcarp (*Austrolebias nigrofasciatus*) is a small, annual killifish native to temporary pools in southern Brazil. Males display vibrant colors, often with iridescent blue and red hues, while females are more subdued. Due to their specialized life cycle and short lifespan, they are best suited for experienced aquarists interested in breeding.
