Coral Red Pencilfish

To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.

The Coral Red Pencilfish (NANNOSTOMUS MORTENTHALERI), is a popular choice for freshwater aquariums. With its vibrant coral red color and curious demeanor, this fish adds a touch of elegance to any tank. Its small size and peaceful nature make it an ideal choice for community tanks.
