F. confluentus.

["Martin Ravn Tversted" <martinrt at email_dk>]

Hi Bruce, tanks for the ansver.
My confluentus are living and spawning in freshwater.
Being in the middle of their spawning after their winter rest, this species gives a good show.
Not a particular colourful fish, but they are hardy and beutiful.

Hi Martin, I think the Ochobee in your location code is in south Florida on 
the edge of the Everglades, on the west(?) side of the Everglades in 
particular. The auroguttatus question involves completely different fishes 
from the north and central part of Florida. The original Fundulus cingulatus 
was redescribed as Fundulus auroguttatus based on an error identifying the 
type specimen in a museum collection in Paris (an F. lineolatus was in the 
wrong place at the wrong time), and meanwhile F. rubrifrons was elevated to 
species status among populations on the eastern and southern edges of 
cingulatus' range. If that's not complicated enough, the error in renaming 
cingulatus has been recognized and will soon be corrected (by Carter Gilbert 
at the Florida Museum) so F. cingulatus will be the correct name once again 
for the fish now known as auroguttatus.

Anyway, are your confluentus living in fresh water or brackish?
