Ray, I agree 100%, particularly in the case of Elassoma. There have been
genetic studies of Elassoma that show a high degree of variability from
population to population, even in the same vicinity. For those that are
familiar with killifish, the importance of site information in Elassoma is
much the same. Inter-breeding species or even mixing fish of the same
species from different populations is not an accepted practice; virtually
tabboo. This causes many of the unique variations in specific populations
to be lost and as Ray points out, all we are left with is "aquarium strain"
fish.
Does anyone else keep Elassoma? Do you know where they were collected from?
The few that I have are F1s from an original pair supplied to me by Robert
Rice that he collected out of a creek in Alabama just west of Pensacola.
Perhaps I should call my population E. evergladei "RR AL-West of Pensacola".
The trouble is that I have only 1 female and I'm not sure that I can keep my
population going!
