, strong sexual dimorphism, adult males more colorful and usually larger than females and having larger fins with extended fin rays. Slender, laterally slightly rounded and elongate small nothobranchiid species, females anteriorly more rounded than males. Dorsal profile straight on head, from nape to caudal peduncle slightly convex, greatest body height anterior to base of dorsal and anal fin. Ventral profile slightly convex from head to end of anal fin base, caudal peduncle slightly concave on ventral. Snout slightly rounded, mouth directed upwards, lower jaw longer than upper, posterior end of mouth at same level as center of eye. Dorsal and anal fins in males pointed, dorsal fin with elongated fin streamer, anal fin trapezoid, only slightly pointed. Caudal fin in males with middle lobe; elongated fin streamers with same color as in dorsal fin. Fins in females generally smaller and rounded. Unpaired fins usually covered basally with an opaque mucus film. Dorsal and anal fins posterior to mid-body First ray of dorsal fin in front or above 1st or 2nd anal fin ray. Dorsal fin with 11-13 rays, anal fin with 13-14 rays. Pectoral fins extending over origin of pelvic fins, pelvic fins not or just reaching anal fin.

Black stripes can completely disappear depending on mood and social status of individual or only traces are seen from upper one on anterior half of body, lower one from anterior base of anal fin to base of caudal fin on ventral caudal peduncle; in fully colored males a dark marking of upper stripe left directly behind opercle.

Anal fin greenish, on basal part blue in several specimens, submarginal band red, marginal band blue, in central part of anal fin sometimes with a yellowish-green or yellowish-orange area, often restricted between fin rays. Usually without red dots or streaks in anal fin, in some specimens with basal row of red dots. Caudal fin upper and lower margin blue, in lower part with submarginal red band, in upper part blue margin interrupted by red streaks. Fin in center green or bluish-green, in most specimens one not sharply separated yellowish-green to orange band above submarginal red band. Between fin rays red streaks in posterior central part, in anterior part quite variable, varying from red dots to streaks, red pattern ranging between fine to rather broad markings. Orange fin streamers in adult males, in young fish sometimes whitish to yellow. Pelvic fins similarly colored as anal fin, greenish to yellowish-green with red submarginal and blue marginal band. Pectoral fins hyaline with yellow to greenish hue, more intensive on outer fin border. Females (Fig. 6). Back brown, dorsally first three rows of scales with metallic copper or greenish color, similar but less pronounced as in males; scales with dark border, some with red dot, on sides two parallel black stripes, between stripes pale greyish to bluish, ventrally greyish to whitish. Some specimens with small red dots on scales, more or less regularly in rows. Orange area on opercle between lateral stripes.
