    I was under the impression that P. wingei has a clear dorsal fin, but this one has an extended and colourful dorsal, is it contaminated with guppy?

    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    hmmm the description paper states that collecting localities have both P. wingei and P. reticulata which means they could not hybridise or else they would all have been mixed up long ago…

    anyway I got a 1:1 view of the kkj *cough* *cough* gonopodium.

    Maybe yes, maybe no. Choy, you got the description paper for the P. wingei?

    I think so. Below is one of my. It could be due to the female guppy mix.
