Re: Fp. walkeri GH2

Sorry to be so slow to answer, Tim.

Kutunse = GH2 = GH2/74 (Langton, Roger W., _Wild Collections of Killifish_, 
3rd Ed. p 16).


In a recent private communication, Roger commented that:

  "... Fp. walkeri Kutunse is a good example. There is every reason to 
believe that this population is extinct in Ghana, its only know habitat. 
Gerhard Schreiber collected this population in 1974 and is the only time the 
fish was brought into the hobby."

HTH,
