RE: Core conservation species? Re: A. schwoiseri

Hey Doug, Gary and anyone else interested:

I have the original KCC Handbook which lists the Fundulopanchax core species
as follows:

F. gardneri nigerianus (Jos Plateau, Makurdi, and Misaje)
F. cinnamomeum (Supe)-relict speciesF. mirabilis traudeau (Tinto)
F. ndianus and F. amiati and F. puerzli-relict species
F. sjoestedti (Warri)
F. walkeri (Kamasi)
F. huwaldi (red)
F. filementosus (undecided location)

and possibly

F. batesii or F. splendidus
F. monroviae
F. schwoiseri or F. kribianus or F. gularis or F. deltaensis or F. fallax

I do not know what the current list consists of, however.
