Alestidae (African tetras)
Etymology: Alestopetersius: Greek, a = without + Greek, lestes = thief + Peters, 1877, naturalist, expeditionary in Asia; conspectus: Conspectus, from the Latin, in reference to the conspicuous markings on the caudal fin and striking, bright coloration of the species in life (Ref. 89102).

Kunci identifiaksi (pengenalan) | Morfologi | Morfometrik
Duri punggung (Keseluruhan (total)) : 0; duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)) : 10; Duri dubur: 0; Sirip dubur lunak: 21 - 23; vertebrata, bertulang belakang: 36 - 37. Diagnosis: Alestopetersius conspectus, is distinguished from A. smykalai, A. leopoldianus, A. nigropterus, A. caudalis, and A. sp. "mbuji" in the possession of 12, vs. 10, circumpeduncular scales (Ref. 89102). It is readily distinguished from A. brichardi, A. compressus, A. hilgendorfi, and A. tumbensis in the possession of a caudal-fin pigmentation consisting of a median black band extending to the caudal-fin margin and flanked by dense black bands in both upper and lower fin lobes (Ref. 89102). Alestopetersius bifasciatus, which shares similar caudal fin pigmentation, is distinguished from A. conspectus by the absence of a broad mid-lateral band on the body, and in tooth morphology (Ref. 89102).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Found in shallow water with water temperature of 21–21.5°C and pH ranging from 5.8–6.5; riverbanks variously covered with dense, undisturbed riparian vegetation, heavily degraded urban areas and cleared agricultural area (Ref. 89102). Short guts and large stomachs with 6-8 fleshy pyloric caeca suggest a carnivorous diet; stomachs with remnants of insect head capsules and disarticulated body parts, most of terrestrial origin, with a preponderance of ants and small midges presumably taken at the water surface (Ref. 89102).
