Abstract: The weatherfish was found in the Ivy Pond which belongs to the watershed of the Koluton River in the Akmola region of Kazakhstan. The weatherfish had a type of coloration (clearly expressed longitudinal stripes, no spots) which unambiguously connected it to the European weatherfish M. fossilis (Linnaeus, 1758). They were also characterized by the absence of Lamina circularis. It is likely that the European weatherfish was accidentally introduced into the watershed of the Koluton River.
