Title: Aphyosemion (Diapteron) seegersi? Post by Andy Jameson on May 1st, 2017 at 8:44am
Internet sleuthing shows me that this species has been shown and sold in Europe over the past few years. I haven't found anything indicating that it has been in North America except a European reference about a particular collection before the turn of the century where "some were sent to Japan and the USA."
Does anyone have any information about this species currently being in North America? |

That's a great question I've asked as well. I believe it's supposed to be thought that in the USA, it's believed to be abacinum.

Hello,
I have seen seegersi from the type location (http://tgenade.freeshell.org/pictures/dseegersi.jpg) as well as abacinum from their type location (http://tgenade.freeshell.org/pictures/abacinum.jpg). The seegersi look like the fish we call abacinum. In the wild, abacinum exists as two color morphs, those that look like this: http://www.aquabid.com/uploads/fwkillifishe1499616188.jpg and those that look like the fish in other photo. It seems likely that seegersi is a color variant of abacinum but there hasn't been enough sampling to be sure of this. I don't know if seegersi is in the US but there is someone in the Czech Republic that sells eggs of them on Aquabid. |
