Title: ID help needed
Post by Leo Xeno on Feb 22nd, 2018 at 6:25pm
I bought this Killi from Segrest as a "N. Massoni".
Where can I find a good database?
Any idea of what this fish is and where it comes from?

Thank you for your time!

Hello,

From the name I would guess hassoni.

I found this photo of hassoni: https://www.bubbashrimp.be/us/bubbas-fishs-nothobranchius-hassoni-couple.html which is reminiscent of your fish. But in, all honesty, it doesn't much look like the fish Bela Nagy collected:

There is some resemblance to the Kasamba River population.

You should contact Bela directly and inquire whether this represents the normal range of variation for this species.
