[Killietalk] Re: Chromo and aphyosemion hybrids

["lee Van Hyfte" <littleleeper23 at hotmail_com>]

Hi Y'all,

 Scheel did many many hybrid experiments.  If you look into rivulins of the 
old world (both of them) you will see some reports (even australe x 
gardneri)

Many of the chromos are sterile even when crossed to each other.   As I 
recall from an old talk on fishes of Gabon  there are 2 different locations 
of the same species (cyanostictum) that are not even fertile within the 
species.  I remember that Mokoukou was one but cannot remember the other.  
Different cryptic species?  As I recall they even had different chromosome 
counts.

God Bless, Lee <><
