Fp. filamentosus "Singapore"

["Tyrone Genade" <Tgenade at sun_ac.za>]

Hello all

A while back (early last year or 
towards the end of 2001) a friend 
imported some killies form Singapre 
via the local pet shop. Of these 
the Fp. filamentosus he brought in 
have got quite firmly established. 
They are stunning, big and bright 
beautiful fish.

From what we hear this strain is a 
recent collection performed by some 
Japanese or somebody. The fish then 
landed up in the hands of a Thai or 
Malay fish farmer (from what I am 
told there are no commercial 
killifish breeders in Singapore).

Does anyone know of any recent 
collections?

The fish not resemble the 'aquarium 
strain' as seen in the litrature 
and are very differnet to the  
Ouidah strain. It most closely 
resembles the 'Benin' strain as 
seen on Tim Addis' webpage.

Any ideas?

Kind regards

Tyrone Genade
