Adding to the on going:

Nevin Aspinwall caught and brought back A. 
australe Cap Esterias DNA 01 in 2001. I now have 
a good size representation of that strain, I 
guess F3, in my fish room. They will be looking 
for new homes in November. The males still retain 
the chocolate brown over blue spangled body color 
of the originals. Very deeply colored fishes. How 
they were ever transformed into the orange color 
sport is a curiosity.

A fish deemed a beginners fish by some and very 
popular in the hobby. Actually they are not that 
easy to propagate. Sometimes I wonder if this is 
not just a problem introduced by the colormorph.
