Kurzbeschreibung
Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 10 - 13; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 12 - 15. Diagnosis: Aphyosemion pamaense belongs to the subgenus Chromaphyosemion as it is characterized by the presence of two dark lateral bands in both sexes, these bands may disappear in males depending on the mood of the fish; the caudal fin is shaped with pronounced dorsal and ventral streamers in males; streamers are also present in the dorsal and anal fins; the species is also characterized by 9-14 dorsal rays, and 11-16 anal rays (Ref. 93722). It differs from all other Chromaphyosemion species by the following combination of characters observed in males: orange background of the unpaired fins, anal without any spots, orange throat, purple to blue-grey flanks (Ref. 93722).
It inhabits a small stream in the forest, about 3 m wide and 0.4 m deep with a muddy or sandy bottom (Ref. 93722). Other cyprinodontiforms species found in syntopy are Epiplatys infrafasciatus, Aphyosemion edeanum, and Procatopus similis (Ref. 93722).
