Nannostomus limatus, (from the Greek: nanos = small, and the Latin stomus = relating to the mouth; from the Latin: limatus = elegant),[1][2][3] commonly known as the elegant pencilfish, is a freshwater species of fish belonging to the characin family Lebiasinidae.[4] They were first described in 1978 by Stanley H. Weitzman along with two other new species (Nannostomus britskii and Nannostomus nitidus), from a collection of specimens preserved in the São Paulo museum.[5] Only rarely imported and kept by aquarists, they have been recorded from the Amazonian region of Brazil, specifically near Santarém.[6]
