Description
The Niger tetra is a tropical freshwater species found only in a limited number of locations in Nigeria. Despite the word "Niger" in its common name, it is not found in Niger. This is not a misnomer, however, since here this word refers to the Niger River, and the Niger tetra is indeed present in that river, in addition to the Ogun River.
