Re: [Killietalk] A. Bitaeniatum (Ijebu-Ode)

Ed,
I don't know about the fish you have, but when you have a location but no 
code, things can happen. That's a variable species and the location isn't 
really precise. I think there have been a couple of importations from Ijebu 
Ode, but I don't know if they came from the same spot. For example, I've 
seen 3 or 4 commercial importations of biteniatum labelled as Lagos - all 
had the same colouration but one had long sabre fins, while another was a 
much shorter finned form (the other 2 were identical, a moderately 
long-finned form). The same could easily have occured at Ijebu Ode.
More than likely, Karl is right...
