Descripción de la especie

Aphyosemion australe is a Nothobranchiidae from 非洲. Built for temporary waters — brilliant, brief, and dependent on egg survival through dry spells. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 4.5–6.6 cm. Singly or in pairs; jump risk is real. Keep it covered, cool-to-warm and clean, and harvest eggs if you want the next generation. Maintain 21–24 °C at pH 6–7. A solid choice for a well-planned community tank.
