<<I'm looking for a really brightly coloured inornata, the redder the
better. I
would also like a river variety that has the checkered pattern strongly
displayed. Any suggestions? Also if you have any that don't fit this
criteria
but you still think they are exceptional please list those also and why.>>

Neil Armstrong will be presenting his slide-show at this years Conference
in Melbourne on inornatas so everyone will get a chance to see the huge
variety possible in this species.

For my money the following are in the top drawer -

Coumali Creek, NT : strong checquered pattern on boby and fins: Green
suffusion in fins.

Oenpelli, NT : similar but yellow and black fins.

Tentpole Creek, Q : Red lines on body : pink and blue fins.

Archer River, Q : pink and blue pastel patterned body and fins.

However there are probably a dozen other forms that others may favour.
