<<Wildekamp. 1993. A World of Killies. Atlas of the Oviparous
Cyprinodontiform fishes of the world. Volume I. 311pp. It covers the

specific colour patterns apparently>>
Thanks Peter..
<< (how many Oz folk use a
river name with any NG bows?) and bow people won't do it
for anything other than bows and blue eyes despite the fact that other
fishes vary across their ranges too.>>
I seem to recall "Clearwater creek fasciatas " as a location name. Also
Pagwi as a form of M. affinis just off the top of my head. For the PNG
Rainbows that came in before the "ban" ( perhaps also for those that came
in after) the origins are mostly available by reading "Fishes of Sahul" or
TFH and jotting down the details . If we ever get permission to bring in
more genetic material then location ( and perhaps even date) will becom
more imperative :-)

Couldn't resist the temptation to slightly change your spelling :-)
<<Wrong habitats, too cool for most killies I would think. Wouldn't the
rain be falling at the wrong time of year? ie winter vs summer>>
How about the Cynolebias group from the cooler 1/2 of South America?
<<G. pusilla most likely, G. olidus not likely.>>
I think there was a reference to G. olidus doing something like this in an
old FOS but I haven't seen a reference to pusillas doing it.
