I agree with you Gary - there are the reports but I don't know anyone who
has actually seen one or photographed it.Perhaps Harro has seen some? gerry
Allen reported that M X Bedotia has occurred but I think he was just
reporting anecdotal information. This is the first time I have heard of a
cross with Telmatherina.
