The orchid nothobranch (Nothobranchius eggersi) is a species of killifish in the family Nothobranchiidae. It is endemic to the lower basin of the Rufiji River in Tanzania.[2] Its natural habitat is temporary pools and swamps.[1] This species is found in both a blue and red form.[3] This species was described in 1982 by Lothar Seegers with the type biology given as the Rufiji River near Utete, Rufiji District of Pwani Region in Tanzania.[4] The specific name honours Seegers companion on two expeditions, the German aquarist Gerd Eggers.[5]
