Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 15; Taggstrålar i analfenan 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 14. Diagnosis: Nothobranchius rungwaensis is distinguished from all other species of the genus by the following characters in males: body colouration light blue to blue-green with red-brown scale margins; anal fin yellow with a narrow red-brown submedial band, a broad yellow medial band with red to red-brown spots, and a broad black distal band; caudal fin light grey with slender semi-translucent dark grey distal band; pelvic fins light blue-grey, with broad yellow medial band with red-brown spots, and narrow black distal band (Ref. 122068). Furthermore, it differs from the other members of the Nothobranchius taeniopygus species group in central and western Tanzania by a head width 54% of head length vs. 56-73%, and 62% of its depth vs. 63-77%; interorbital width 38% of head length vs. 39-52%; postorbital length 46% of head length vs. 47-63%; snout length 22% of head length vs. 16-22%; and caudal peduncle length 119% of its depth vs. 121-169% (Ref. 122068).

Found in seasonal pools (Ref. 122068).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
