Hi Ronnie,

Since the welcome image changes,  I assume you are talking a bout  the 
image from the BKA photographer  Mel Addicott in 1980.  At that time there 
were many populations of splendopleure available, but few had 
locations............  that we can only list as aquarium strain, it did 
appear in some material as "multicolor".

        Regarding Aphyosemion /Chromaphyosemion............  The name 
Chromaphyosemion as a genus is not accepted universally, specifically the 
AKA follows the Killifish Master Index 4 for all taxonomic issues, and  KMI 
does not list Chromaphyosemion as a sub genus as originally described.

Perhaps you noticed the absence of Chromaphyosemion in the list of genera 
in the gallery............
