Re: [Killietalk] Fundulopanchax scheeli importation question

Hello Scott

Taken from: http://www.killifish.f9.co.uk/Killifish/Killifish%20Website/Ref_Library/Fundulopanchax/Fp.scheeli.htm

"Wildekamp collected A.scheeli & the then A.scheeli akamkpaense in the
same tributary of the Cross River east of the village of Okporo in
1990. As these fish were found syntopically (together) & given the
fact that the subspecies A.scheeli akamkpaense was described on minor
colouration differences it was felt that this name was a synonym for
A.scheeli.
Also, akamkpaense was described partly on the basis of the colour
pattern in the anal fin. However, this proved unsustainable in future
aquarium bred generations.
Currently (2002) this sp. has been placed in the genus Fundulopanchax."

No mention of a Cameroon population on http://www.killi-data.org either.
