Female colouration: translucent grey to pale olive with some light blue iridescent spots on the sides arranged in horizontal lines; the scales on the back and upper parts of the sides usually have narrow brown margins; all fins are colourless (Ref. 57259). Both sexes have a strongly reflective light blue spot in the upper part of the eye iris (Ref. 57259). Wildekamp, R.H. and J.R. Van der Zee 2003 Poeciliidae. p. 300-324 In C. Lévêque, D.
