Got me! Of course it should have been Z. kampeni. I'm not quite sure if it
is, both species seem to be widespread and rather similar. If I can trust my
memory I have some preserved specimens and will have a look at them at a
latre date.

Jan is still active in the hobby, I've seen him last year. However, he doesn't do
much for SRGS since some time, rainbowfish hobby in Scandinavia is rather
down in the moment. At least he feels better!
