Does that mean I should start telling my pair to get going and start producing some fry :-) ?? That would also mean that instead of the Europeans just talking about it that they'll actually show up at the IRG convention! Be there or be Goo obo less :-)

Another point on the nesolepsis that Kent is now using. They look very different than the fish that he originally collected as he says in his article. Even if you had nesolepsis they don't look anything like these guys as these are much more colorful than the originals. He used the brightest colored fish from every spawn as his next fish for breeding. I normally don't like sports but there is so much color in these that they really rival <almost> a peacock gudgeon in full color.

BTW shipping Morgurnda eggs or Allomogurnda eggs would probably be a tough thing to do. They really need a lot of "fathering" and fanning. One of the first transfers of M. mogurnda eggs happened from the Dallas aquarium back in the Mid-eighties when David Schlesser, then working at the aquarium scraped some eggs off of the glass and gave them to Charles Harrison who then drove straight thru to St. Louis. He only got a few of the already eyed up eggs to hatch. I think you would have a real problem trying to have these eggs in transit longer than about 2 days w/o having massive egg losses. Some things you just have to ship as fish.

Hi everyone,

If I'm not mistaken, Allomogurnda nesolepis was present in Europe a couple of years ago (still under its old name "Mogurnda"). It may well be that there are still some fish around, but I wouldn't know where to search for them.

It surely would be nice to get them over here..

Nylabone hasn't replied yet, however Jennifer from TFH is going to
send me a free trial issue so I can decide for myself if I want a
subscription or not. They sure are friendly people there at TFH!

PS, I had contacted a person in the USA who has the Goo obo gudgeon
and asked him if he would be willing to send eggs to me, but he
declined unfortunately. So I guess us Europeans will have to wait
another few years before we get this little gudgeon.
