    Researchers have discovered a stunning new species of tiny orange-patterned fish in the Brazilian Amazon, but its survival may already be at risk. Named Laimosemion laranja, the brilliantly colored killifish measures less than three centimeters long and was found in just three small forest pools. Its extremely limited habitat is threatened by mining, deforestation, pollution, and expanding development.
