David R Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I found a site,its just Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi var var what? Var is often used as an abbreviation for variety, so maybe there is two different varieties of the same species? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 So not a separate species, or even a subspecies, just a selectively bred strain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
