Re: [RML] Hybrid questions?
Danny,
I collected some natural hybrids some time ago in a creek, either Harriet or Big Nellie Creek where they cross the bottom road that runs between the town of Pine Creek and Kakadu National Park.   They were hybrids of Exquisit Rainbowfish and Chequered Rainbowfish.  

Cheers
Dave



Hello again
I've noticed that Melanotaenia cross Glossolepis will hybridise.
Will other genus cross also Chilatherina/Glossolepis or  Chilatherina/Melanotaenia
what about Iratherina/Pseudomugil
Although any hybrid in our shop or fish room is gladly accepted by Russell (my sons Barcoo Grunter of 400mm+) 
 
Also in the wild how often are hybrids found? 
In a creek with  say M.eachamensis ,  M.splendida splendida & M.nigrans what is generally the dominant species found
a true species or hybrids, I know some locations the different species dont hybridise where other locations they do.
