For general information this is the reference on FishBase:
Used for research. Introduced to Miagao, Iloilo province in 1996 for mosquito control (Ref. 1342.
Erik, it might not be around. Many of these were introduced as mosquito control agents but very seldom did they establish themselves. Simpsonichthys (Nematolebias) whitei was also introduced into California going by the information on the US NAS site showing non-indigenous species introduced into the States for mosquito control purposes. The species however, did not manage to establish itself.
The nigripinnis might possibly still be there but since there's only one locality in which they were introduced, you can try. Miagao is a city/town in the province of Iloilo on the island of Panay. Records from FishBase show their status to be unknown but suspected to be established. Good luck in finding them though. :wink:
