Thanks Richard,
Tony's pictures are great. The sp. Talio is really nice looking.
I know that Pachypanchax benefit from a cool period, but how cool can
they be kept without harm? I ask because I have a garage which is
heated to 55F during the winter. It goes up to about 80 during the
summer. Would this temp range be good for keeping Pachypanchax? If so
I might be able to dedicate a 30 or a 55 for a spawning group.
Thanks,
Chris

Hello to all Pachypanchax keepers.
Paul Loiselle is distributing some fish into the hobby. At the
Northeast
Council of Aquarium Societies meeting this March he graciously donated a
pair each of P. sakaramyi, P. sp. Talio, and P. sp. Varatraza to the
rare
fish silent auction. I believe that the proceeds of this auction went
to
the George Maier Fund. I purchased both the Talio and Varatraza
locations,
and I already maintain P. sakaramyi. I have already collected fry from
the
P. sp. Talio and a few eggs (but none viable yet) from the P.sp.
Varatraza.
I will make pairs available when they mature. Tony Terciera recently
added
pictures of these two species to the AKA gallery under Pachypanchax.
Best wishes,
Richard Pierce

We do indeed have a lsit of those currently in the hobby - that we know
of.
The chairmanship of the Species Maintenance for Pachypanchax is
currently in
transition from me to a new chair, and the files are in transit, but
here's
a quick overview:
P. sakaramyi Joffreville LM94/7
P. sakaramyi
P. omanolatus Nosy Be
P. omanolatus
P. playfairii
P. sp. Ampanobe
P. sp. Ambatazorovy
P. sp. Betsiboka River
There may be others that we're as yet unaware of.
As to the second part of your question, I don't know.
Best - donna recktenwalt

Out of curiosity, does someone have a list of the Pachypanchax species
and/or locations currently in the hobby? Also on a related note,
several
years ago, Dr. Paul Loiselle promised to distribute some of the newer
Madagascar varieties. Has that happened?
