Didn't you keep some of these fish in a rather large, deep body of water
Bruce? It may be a little misleading not mentioning this, as a bathtub, or
small fish tank is going to fluctuate in temperature a lot more. I can
voucher for the M.duboulayi, however- mine have now survived 2 winters in a
small 150 litre above ground pond- and the past few months have bought
several heavy frosts.

Regards,
Jennifer.
