Re: [Killietalk] Fp. arnoldi

[Wright Huntley <whuntley at verizon_net>]

My FIL became progressively less fertile until there were none. It would 
appear that there may have been an alien female or two in the bunch, and 
I made the mistake of gang spawning them to "improve genetic diversity."

This was an important lesson to me. It may not be all bad to raise 
several generations from a single pairs. Trying to use all the genes can 
produce all sterile hybrids in Paludopanchax and Fp. where females of 
different species look so much alike. I strongly suspect this is what 
has happened to numerous collections of ARN. They even defeated Col. Scheel!

I really miss those lovely little lavender fish (FIL). :-(  I'm still 
looking for true ARN with the bright yellow bodies and unsymmetrical 
caudal (yellow swordtail). [I'm not interested in the ones that look 
like a THI hybrid, with muddy brownish coloring , blue iridescence and 
wide-spread symmetrical caudal.]
