Re: [Killietalk] Annual Fundulopanchax

Hi Wright;
Is there maybe a diapause difference that "defines" annual.  I have had 
annuals like S whitei and N korthause live several years.  Many ponds receed 
but do not completely dry out so not all annuals die out every year even in 
their natural enviroment I would think.  I can't say if all Fp cannot stand 
as dry a peat as many annuals seem to prefer but some do seem to prefer over 
2 months dry time and many annuals only 3 months so that alone should not be 
a deciding factor.  I think sometimes people try very hard to categorize 
where there is no real clear basis for a category.   Any thoughts on the 
diapause stages being a defining factor?
