History
|
First collected near Jos at a location named
Hillcrest. Fred Wright et al visited this area in June/July 1977 but
could not find the sp. due to changes in the collecting area through
development & polluted waterways. Although this population name has existed for many years it encompasses other populations such as Rayfield, Vom & Kaduna etc. In BKA newsletter No. 90, February 1973 reference
is made to a collection of this population from the wild. These were
reported as being a yellow phenotype. Despite every effort to bring
them in & chasing about London until 0200 hrs the parcel was disappointing,
containing 125 dead fish with the possibility of bringing 15 pairs
around. Twelve trios were sent to the AKA New & Rare Species Committee around the beginning of 1973. David Blair visited the biotope in 1968 (Killi-News 94) |
