Mark, I hope I say this correctly, but there is a spectacular Dr. Terciera 
photo that he made as an AKA index around 1977. We do not have an index 
program anymore, but if you have a nearby associate in your area, maybe he or 
she can show you the fish. Kordon reprinted these indices and we use to sell 
them through the publications commitee. The fish,as indicated in the index, 
is only "known from waters near the town of Meanja in southern Cameroons 
where it was first collected by Peter Winter in 1975" The photographer was 
Dr.Anthony Terciera and the indexer was Fred Kraus and Dr. Terciera 1977. If 
you find this index, there are several other references listed. 
Unfortuneately, I have only Scheel,Jorgen. Rivulins of the Old World.  TFH 
Publications, Jersey City, NJ, 1968, pp 116-127.  This fish has a gold 
posterior that grades into a pale,pastel purple. The unpaired fins are 
primarily green. There are streaks of dark red in the anal, which also has 
yellow tips. The dorsal has a maroon color that is between the fin rays over 
green,then terminates with a yellow tip. What a fish and what a photograph. 
Anyway, I appreciate the correspondence. If this fish was common, I would 
still have it as long as I could keep it going. Can you say pastel? Nature is 
quite the artist. Mark Delraso
