Hi Joe!

I'm guessing that the number has been corrupted and should be DKG-1.  It 
would be easy to misread DKG1 as CKE1.

If this is the case, these were derived from two pairs of Rivulus 
cylindraceus sent by two different DKG members to the 2003 West Coast 
Weekend. The coloration of the fish was different from other Rivulus 
cylindraceus and I was able to obtain both pairs.  The fish proved easy to 
breed and has been widely distributed.

By the way, there was another color variety from Germany available at the 
show as well.  I chose to focus on one type and don't know what happened to 
the other one.

Since the fish I obtained appeared distinct from Rivulus cylindraceus, it 
was recommended that we recognize this difference.  We initially called the 
fish Rivulus cylindraceus DKG1 and later, more technically correct, as 
Rivulus species affinis cylindraceus DKG1.

While looking at some of the European websites, there is a Rivulus 
cylindraceus "Cascade de Soares" that appears very similar to Rivulus 
species affinis cylindraceus DKG1.  I have not been able to confirm whether 
or not these are the same location or even are identical.  Again, the fish 
sent to West Coast Weekend 2003 did not have a location code and were only 
designated as Rivulus cylindraceus.  Hope this helps.

Does anyone have any information about the collection code on Rivulus 
cylindraceus CKE1? Thanks.
