Available Species Clarifications

Recommended Posts

I've finally finished the Breeding Scheme Species Corrections List which involved updating all of the binomial and common names of species that have previously been bred in New Zealand. Due to the changes in import regulations/accuracy, there are many names on this list that are not currently on our Import List and are likely not present in New Zealand. Can I please have confirmations as to whether any of the below species are currently or were recently (within the past year) available in New Zealand (or if they're on the Import List and I made a mistake!)

(Please note that the common names can be used for several species, so it's worth checking the binomial name to see if it's the same fish)

Empress, t reef, dems, maingiano and rusty confirmed.

Sulphur headed is a dubious one as it is here, but how pure it is is unknown.

N. pulcher is rumored to be here, I have spoken to a couple people who's Mayes mate has them.... but I have not seen confirmation of them myself. However I do trust the people who said it.

I'm not sure if Mayaheros urophthalmus (ex Cichlasoma) has ever been here, I've certainly never encountered it in my 20-odd years [unfortunately].

As for the "red devil", cam hit the nail on the head; the chances are pretty high that the fish we have here are a mixture of both A. labiatium and A. citrinellum, and the only way to be sure you have one of the true species is to buy wild caught or F1 fish from a reputable collector/dealer, which isn't an option here.
