Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 15-17; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 18. Diagnosis: Nothobranchius sagittae is distinguished from all other members of the Nothobranchius neumanni species group by the following combination of characters: in the male, a relatively elongate body shape, a dorsal profile that is slightly convex, a concave transition between the head and body, a pointed snout, and an upward-directed mouth cleft; the anal fin in the male is red with one or two pale yellow, white or blue-white horizontal bands, a light blue-gray proximal part, and a distinct dark red margin; the caudal fin in the male is usually completely red with a relatively dark marginal band (Ref. 98818).

Occurs in shallow, seasonal pools and swamps (Ref. 98818).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
