The blue notho, or Patrizi's notho (Nothobranchius patrizii) is a species of killifish in the family Nothobranchiidae.[2] It is found in Kenya and Somalia. Its natural habitat is running water.[1] The males are usually around 5.0 centimetres (2.0 in).[2] In the aquarium the females lay their eggs on bottom peat.[3] This species was described as Fundulus patrizii by Decio Vinciguerra in 1927 with a type locality of the Harenaga swamps, near mouth of the Juba River in southern Somalia.[4] Vinciguerra gave this fish the specific name of patrizii in honour of the collector of the type Saverio Patrizi Naro Montoro (1902-1957), an Italian explorer, zoologist and speleologist.[5]
