Pachypanchax playfairii

"Pachypanchax playfairi" is the only species of freshwater fish endemic to the Seychelles, a group of islands in the Indian Ocean directly east of Tanzania. An egg scatterer, Playfair's Panchax breeds amongst floating water plants. This species is unusual in that the scales of the male become lifted during the breeding season, giving the skin a rough appearance. Like the Common Lyrefish (Aphyosemion australe), Playfair's Panchax is a type of killifish and, as such, rarely lives to more than three years old.
