Remarks: Otopharynx sp. Walteri is a close relative of the Yellow Blaze. They share the familiar three spots on their flanks, but they have several more spots at the base of the dorsal fin. Their snouts are elongated and very pointed, coming to a sharp angle right above the eye before rounding out the forehead. Males are dark blue-green in color with white and red-orange trim on the dorsal and anal fins. Their unique body shape and dark turquoise colors make them a great choice for any collector looking for an odd-ball breeding project.
