    Re: new Red pencilfishes described

    here's the abstract…

    Nannostomus rubrocaudatus sp. n. is described from Peru. The new species is closely related with N. mortenthaleri and N. marginatus. The coloration of the males of N. rubrocaudatus sp. n. in life is extremely different from these species. The new species has a clearly developed sexual dichomatism, which is not to be seen in N. marginatus. The sexual dimorphism in the anal-fin described by WEITZMAN & WEITZMAN (2003) for N. mortenthaleri was also found in N. rubrocaudatus sp. n. and in a “colour variety” of N. marginatus from the río Negro basin.

    I am not familiar with the red pencils, you are probably right.

    Yeah, I think those are sold as purple pencilfish. I heard they were a colour morph of n. marginatus, but I guess they're a separate species. There's some pictures at jjphoto.dk
