Callopanchax and F. arnoldi

[RuevenM at aol_com]

Hi All,

    I have been remiss as leader of the Fun. arnoldi group within the 
Fundulopanchax section of the KCC. Would anyone who is maintaining the arnoldi 
Ughelli TRO1 population who would be interested in being apart of this group please 
contact me off list. The responsibility is very simple -- just report to me so 
I can report to David Ramsey how many adults, fry and eggs you have on hand 
when we have a census (like now) and agree to keep the species going in your 
tanks. That's it. Arnoldi was in the hobby in the early 1960's and except for a 
few importations to Europe over the years and a strain in England in the 
1980's, it has never truly established itself -- even though it was one of the 
first species of killifish to make it to the hobby alive (1905). The new strain 
seems to be establishing itself and we want to keep it that way. There are also 
some new importations into Europe that hopefully we can get and add to the 
arnoldi group.
     Also, the last few years I have noticed how the big Callopanchax species 
have just sort of drifted off the killifish radar. In fact, the whole old 
"Roloffia" group seems to have lost alot of popularity. I am beginning to think 
we have even lost the old red form of occidentalis in the American hobby -- 
probably for the first time since the 1930's! I would like to hear from people 
who would be interested in getting a Callopanchax group going in the KCC. 

Bobby
