Scales on mid-lateral series 28-31 (Ref. 57261).Colouration: Male colouration: the body is translucent and basically pale yellow-olive in colour with a light blue iridescence on the sides and a white ventral area; the dorsal and anal fins are yellow to orange in most populations, but tend to be red in those found in the delta of the Niger River; the fin colour deepens outwards and the margin at the dorsal and anal fin is pale blue; the caudal fin is transparent with a pale yellow to red hue (Ref. 57261). Female colouration: in general, similar to the male, but lacking the iridescence on the sides; the dorsal and anal fins are pale yellow, with pale blue to white margins; the caudal fin is pale yellow to colourless (Ref. 57261). Both sexes have a large eye with a reflecting pale blue iris (Ref. 57261). Wildekamp, R.H. and J.R. Van der Zee 2003 Aplocheilidae. p. 325-442 In C. Lévêque, D. Paugy and G.G. Teugels (eds.)
