Male of Anatolichthys danfordii 'Soysallı'.

Anatolichthys danfordiiDanford's Toothcarp

Aphaniidae · Boulenger, 1890

Danford's toothcarp, Anatolichthys danfordii, is endemic to Turkey, in the middle and lower Kızıl, lower Yeşil and upper Seyhan river systems. It has a confused history, having been treated as a synonym of both A. sophiae and A. fasciatus, and A. chantrei is now known to be a junior synonym of it. Colour and pattern vary with locality, and forms such as 'Soysallı' and 'Kırşehir' are labelled to preserve bloodlines.
