RE: [Killietalk] Killies in Mexico

[fishgen <fishgen at vt_edu>]

In Cancun you will not be very far from the following killifish species:
Marine/brackish habitats: Cyprinodon artifrons, Floridichthys polyomus, 
Jordanella (=Garmanella) pulchra, Fundulus persimiliis,  F. grandisimis and 
Rivulus marmoratus.  Freshwater: Rivulus tenuis. Some of these species are 
quite common, others really tough to collect. Profundulus likely will not be 
found in this area.  I doubt you will find anything of interest in Puerto 
Vallarta.  bjt
