Hello all... I obtained some eggs of simp whitei from someone here, I managed to get 1 pair that are just now breeding age.... Not much later I hatched out some Austrolebias eggs from a generous fellow in S.Amer...12-14 fry hatched, one "oddball" was larger/darker...in 3 weeks there were none, just this darker fry and one fat austrolebias...the "hitchhiker" is shown here "all grown up" along with my whitei http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/bc/40ffae93_3d44/bc/Fish+Pictures/whitei-comparison .jpg?BCKjPFDBrkS7AIWR (No clue if this link or the attached file will work) I said all that to say, I doubt if this fellow came from anywhere in my fishroom, I don't really collect any simpsonicthys peat cuz all are too young (except S.const), NTM I just got all of them recently...Perhaps whomever gave me the austrolebias may have had a egg get loose on em perhaps...odd never the less... I currently have some 3week S.papilliferus & S.aff "bokermanni" hatched out that look "Similar", but I just got those from Europe, NTM they are still undeveloped... Same fish? Or is this just a strain of dark whitei (BTW, these two are next to each other; identical tanks, water..blah blah)...any ID help appreciated...anyone with a possible match you are free to have him.. Regards, Ken
