They were all wild caught fish from various locations around Monrovia and there were liberiense-like fish, Ep. annulatus and Callopanchax (then Roloffia) monroviae present in every shipment.

These wild imports are still being received by one UK wholesaler. We are fortunate to have a finger on the pulse & can intercept them on arrival. Most are caught in unknown collecting areas & can arrive mixed in the bag to be sorted. As an example, we recently found a yellow Ps.annulatus which is like nothing seen in any photo I have seen. See http://www.bka.freeuk.com/killinews5.htm for photo.

Codes CI6 & CI7 from previous shipments seen here http://www.bka.freeuk.com/imports1.htm were saved (?) & eggs distributed.

I believe this importer will bring in many more wild killies which we are concentrating on distributing. The AKA conservation groups are most encouraging. We have sent a few eggs to the US & would like to send more this summer. How are the Epiplatys fasciolatus Conakry doing?

We have a new import of a cognatum form with a yellow anal fin shipped from Kinshasa. These are now settled in & breeding. Some 21 fry are being raised at a safe house in case of disaster. I'm looking forward to putting these in the elegans group over there.
