The Madagascar panchax, Pachypanchax sakaramyi, is a killifish from high-gradient forest streams around the Ambohitra Massif in northern Madagascar. The only remaining riverine populations are in a short stretch of the Sakaramy River and the upper Antongombato River, most of the original populations having been lost to invasive species, deforestation and the diversion of the Sakaramy's source. Despite its conservation status it is relatively well-established in the aquarium hobby.
