	Nothobranchius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Nothobranchius species are known from: northeastern South Africa, Caprivi Strip (Namibia), Zambia, southeastern Congo (DRC), southeastern Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Somalia, southwestern Ethiopia, southern Sudan and in the vicinity of Lake Chad in Chad and northern Cameroon.
		Typically, Nothobranchius habitats are situated on flat-lying floodplain areas and all have one thing in common - they dry completely or, in some cases, partially, on an annual or semi-annual basis, depending on the rainfall characteristics of the particular region.
		With the onset of the rainy season, the mud in the Nothobranchius habitats is moistened, the eggs therein are triggered into the final stage of development (by the change in environmental conditions) so that when the rains come in earnest and the pools fill up with water, the eggs hatch and a new generation begins.

		Nothobranchius guentheri also known as "Guenther's Nothobranch Killifish", "Güenther's Notho", "Guenther's Notho", and "Guenther's Killifish" is a popular killifish among experience and novice hobbyists alike.
		Nothobranchius guentheri has a reputation for aggressiveness towards its own kind, and for this reason it may be best not to house it with others of the same species.
		Nothobranchius guentheri is from Zanzibar in East Africa.

	Nunziata's Article...Modern Tropical Fish Bytes
		Nothobranchius are classified as “annuals” because they do not live more than one annual cycle in nature.
		These observations seem to further imply that those Nothobranchius whose primary caudal colors are blue or green should be found in clear water, but I have not seen a study confirming this implication.
		To the Nothobranchius breeder wishing to accelerate the "dry" time, this knowledge was exemplified by the practice of storing eggs on shelves near the ceiling, near a heat source, or in temperature-controlled storage containers such as "warm boxes" and more elaborate incubators.

		This is used for the initial flooding of peat moss containing Nothobranchius eggs and for raising fry till they begin to sex out.
		First food for Nothobranchius fry is a morning feeding of newly hatched Artemia napulii (BBS) and an evening feeding of either microworms, Cyclop-Eeze(TM), or Mike Reedís NO BS Fry Food(TM).
		Nothobranchius fry appear to be quite sensitive to crowding, so thinning out their numbers as they grow my splitting them into a larger number of containers appears wise.

	LAY LINE GENOMICS
		Annual fishes of the genus Nothobranchius are a group of teleost fishes which successfully colonized seasonal ponds by producing desiccation-resistant eggs which survive the dry season.
		The short lifespan in Nothobranchius furzeri is the secondary consequence of a biological adaptation for accelerated life cycle and not the result of spontaneous or targeted mutations which impair cellular repair as it is the case for the many short-lived mouse mutants that have been generated recently.
		Nothobranchius furzeri expresses a series of aging biomarkers at level of histology and behaviour which are typical of vertebrate aging.

	Scheel's Letters: Nothobranchius
		The genus Nothobranchius was erected by Peters in 1868 using Cyprinodon orthonotus which he described in 1844 from Mozambique as the type.
		My Nothobranchius when dying are showing the same pattern of behavior as did the guppies, they are growing very thin, they wriggle and tremble, they are nervous or blunt.
		Nothobranchius "palmquisti" (Tropicarium stock) The present stock of a Notho which mostly is called by the species name of "palmquisti" was imported in 1957 by Tropicarium in Munchen.

	Killifish help scientists study aging \| Practical Fishkeeping magazine
		Scientists are using killifish from the Nothobranchius genus to study the effects of aging.
		According to a paper in the latest issue of the journal Aging Cell, Nothobranchius can be used to test the effects of aging at a pace comparable to that seen with other model organisms such as the fruit fly, Drosophila.
		Nothobranchius come from Africa and are an annual species in the wild.

		Nothobranchius sp Kilombero TAN 95/4 picture (Young males are a brilliant sky blue)
		Nothobranchius kept in soft, acid water are more prone to bacterial infections and just don't seem to thrive as well.
		I find that most Nothobranchius do fine in these conditions and in fact, the close proximity of the female to an active male will produce more eggs than if the pair is kept in a larger tank where the male has to spend more time enticing the male.

	Thorup's opdrætsside- Nothobranchius fuscotaeniatus
		The species is also supposedly unique because the females as the males have vertical fl stripes on the body, only the females typically only have them on the tail half of the body.
		It is a good idea to separate the males from the females as soon as they can be told apart while they are growing up, or the males will be too dominant towards the females.
		With species from the Nothobranchius genera it is normally quite easy to sex the young: those that get colures are males.

		One of the new species of Nothobranchius that seem to have made an appearance in New Zealand relatively recently is N. korthausae.
		The original northern population is largely a yellow and brown fish (quite unlike the colour scheme of any other Nothobranchius that I've seen) with a dark edge to each scale on the body giving it a definite reticulated pattern.
		With all Nothobranchius species I keep I add half a teaspoon of non-iodized salt to each 4 L of tank water to keep the fish free of the dreaded velvet.

	Nothobranchius ocellatus
		Nothobranchius ocellatus was caught for the first time by L. Seegers, G. Eggers and C. Kasselman on December 31st.
		L. Seeger's argument for setting up this new genus is that the appearance of the fish and their behaviour are so different from all other known Nothobranchius.
		When my first fish became sexually mature they were put together for breeding in the same way as I breed my other Nothobranchius species; tap water with one tablespoonful of Atlantic salt per 10 litre, peat at the bottom and some Java ferns, Microsorium pteropus.

		In 1935, in a paper, Ahl claims that "melanospilus" had been confused with another species of Nothobranchius which came from the islands of Seychelles.
		Rowe advised him as to where to collect specimens of Nothobranchius and perhaps we might say that the stock lived not very far from Dar-es-Salam.
		In an article, Rowe wrote that he found Nothobranchius in pools and water courses which only had water during some parts of the year.

		The aspect of polymorphism has thus far received very little attention [in Wildekamp's 1986 study, measurements were taken from different size and age groups], besides from the fact that little is mentioned concerning the sub-species N.jubbi interruptus.
		Although not investigated thus far, it would appear that in Nothobranchius the red colour must, in one way or the other, be directly linked to aggressive and territorial behaviour, and thus to spawning success.
		In these two species, the red and non-red forms maintain however an identical body shape, which is imprinted in the species' specific gene pool.

		So this essay will not be an attempt to add new information, but to encourage newer killie hobbyists to try this "easier" Nothobranchius and to build confidence in their killie-keeping abilities.
		The first is to purchase a week's spawn of eggs in peat.
		Nothobranchius' peat should normally be a little wetter when stored than some of their relatives down in South America.

	Extremely Short Lifespan In The Annual Fish Nothobranchius Furzeri (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Abstract: We have studied the fish, Nothobranchius furzeri, a member of a group of annual species found in temporary bodies of water of equatorial Africa whose life expectancy in the wild is limited to a few months.
		To survive the dry season, fishes of the genus Nothobranchius lay eggs that remain encased in the bottom mud until the next seasonal rains.
		We found that these small fishes, even when reared in the laboratory, complete their life cycle in two months and a half and then die due to senescence.

	Aging changes in lymphopoietic and myelopoietic organs of the annual cyprinodont fish, Nothobranchius guentheri. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The thymus of aging annual, cyprinodont fish, Nothobranchius guentheri and Cynolebias adloffi begins to undergo senescent changes at approximately four months.
		At this time, the histopathology reveals increased amounts of connective tissue, epithelial cysts and myoid cells, but decreased numbers of thymocytes.
		It is of interest that development of these tumors occurs during peak senescent changes in the thymus, supporting the view that as fish age, accompanied by atrophy of the thymus, the immune system is less vigorous and there is an increase in the incidence of cancer.

		Nothobranchius Guentheri are from a group of fish that have perhaps the most unusual method of breeding of all.
		This method of breeding has allows them to survive in areas that have no water during dry periods of the year.
		The fry should be fed small live food such as baby brine shrimp and microworms and will grow Quickly to adult size in about 3 months ready to breed themselves

		It is also a fish that has been the subject of considerable confusion over the years, particularly with N.
		This confusion is partly due to human error and partly due to the changing knowledge of Nothobranchius taxonomy.
		However, in 1995 Brian Watters, Ruud Wildekamp, and Ian Sainthouse collected a number of wild Nothobranchius, among them several that they identified as N.

		The most gorgeous and challenging of the killies (in my opinion) are the Nothos (genus Nothobranchius).
		These East Africa annual fishes live in open, sunny savannahs in flooded fields, pools, rapidly expanding and contracting lakes, river floodplains, and even cattle and elephant footprints filled with rainwater and groundwater.
		Most nothos are in the genus Nothobranchius, but that may change.
