History
|
A fish called Aphyosemion
'Korup 01' was caught in the Korup National Park in 1992 by André
Kamden Toham close to the Ndian River. Wildekamp 1995 regarded it as
being close to ndianus
& called it Fundulopanchax sp.aff.ndianus.This
fish had a 'stripey' appearance with 2 red lines horizontally through
the body & 2 horizontal lines on the anal fin, one at the margin,
the other in the centre of the fin. The dorsal fin also had 2 horizontal
lines, one on the outer margin, the other close to the body. A progress report in November 2003 would suggest
that those in the AKA are in limited numbers & may be down to one
pair & a few males. Peat is in storage. |

Breeding
|
Reportedly not easy to breed. The original wild fish from 2001 were given to a competent breeder who managed to raise some fish. A dry storage period of 8 weeks was reported but this time was cut down to 4 weeks by putting eggs on damp/wet peat. After this period cool, fresh water was added. | |
