Re: [Killietalk] Kilomberoensis sport

["Donna M. Recktenwalt" <dmrecktenwalt at sbcglobal_net>]

Try looking up "Two Color Varieties of Nothobranchius korthause," by 
Jaroslav Kadlac. My clipping on file shows no month/year information, but an 
ad on the reverse of one of the pages is for a date in 1994.
Another source (including anecdotal material from various contemporary 
American breeders) is "Color Variation in Nothobranchius korthause" from the 
Nov. 2003 issue of the G.C.K.A. Newsletter (www.cincikillies.org).
Hope this helps - donna
