Beautiful fish. 
 
"Papiliolebias francescae is the newest described species of rivulids from Bolivia, South America. Like many killifish, P.francescae is strikingly pigmented - a real pint-sized showstopper." http://www.advancedaquarist.com/blog/papiliolebias-francescae-a-new-killifish

Absolutely beautiful! :eek:
 
Really hope they can get these breeding well and into LFS before too long.
 
I for one, would like to have these in one of my tanks :)
 
It reminds me very much of my scarlet badis which is one of my favorite fish ever but the blue is more pronounced. 
 
It's stunning :wub: Thanks for sharing.
 
This makes me want my killis back.
I'd just have a tank of every killi species ;_;

I love them so much
