The interesting thing about all this is what are people keeping and breeding?
Lets take Utchee Ck. rainbowfish. What are they breeding - M.splendida
splendida, M.eachamensis, M.splendida eachamensis, M.eachamensis splendida,
or just plain old hybrids? Perhaps we should just keep Gudgeons & Gobies,
then we would all know what we have got, wouldn't we ;-)
When you think about it we don't really know a lot about our freshwater fishes.
slightly confused,
Adrian.
