Re: [Killietalk] Cold water killies

You need to look at maps and read what's known about each species. That's 
what google is for. Generally, many of the Austrolebias, and that includes 
the Uruguayan fishes, are in the south temperate zone, with climate much 
like Virginia or North Carolina. Southern Brazil, on the other hand, is like 
South Carolina. Equatorial Brazil is like Florida in the summer. Lowland 
fish are often from flat, stagnant, oxygen poor regions, while inland fish 
are often from uplands, where the slope of the land results in fast moving 
water high in oxygen.
