Re: [Killietalk] Aphyosemion sp. Bitter

This from the archives: you have to keep googling,

Hi Yall,

As Gary mentioned Aphyosemion. sp. "bitter" is indeed escherichii. However 
as Gary also mentioned there is another fish termed sp. "bitter" and indeed 
it is a form of Fp. mirabilis and it is an incredible mirabilis strain. 
WOW!!

The confusion that Gary is referring to developed when the Fp. sp. "bitter" 
was accidentally placed in the MesoA. class at the Wako show in November.

I personally investigated all of this to find out what was going on.

There are several breeders working with Escherichii right now. Especially, 
in the northern midwest. I would almost guarantee you will see them at the 
AKA national in the box sales etc.

If you try Ples. bitteri GOOD LUCK!! They are very difficult to keep. The 
fry I would have to say on a personal observation are the smallest of ANY 
killie. 2 weeks old before they could take down so much as a newly hatched 
BBS. I found sexual maturity to be hit at about 4 months old.

God Bless, Lee Van Hyfte
