Re: ANN -- Still looking...

         I agree Wright, I have seen many "Monroviae" names attached to 
fish which do not resemble the original import...........  I have an image 
of one of the original importations of that strain in 1974....  that is the 
date on the slide, the colors are really unique and 
unmistakable........   refer  to my photo on www..thefishwizards.com for 
comparisons......  I believe that is the accurate representation of the 
fish as I maintained it and photographed it in 1974.
