With all due respect to Rodney and his efforts in Christchurch, I this this Killifish should not be called Akure any more.

I bought some recently and got 2 different males, this in it's self is fine as there is a natural variation in this species, however one of the males looked like a P82, this is Not what any Akure is supposed to look like any any of it's natural forms.

He admitted to adding P82 bloodlines into the strain after the ChCh earth quake.

This is understandable if it was a choice of loosing them or using the P82's, but it does mean the name "Akure" is no longer accurate.

What's more Akure is a Fundulopanchax clauseni gardneri Akure, where as P82's are Fundulopanchax gardneri P82

So they really should be called a generic name like Fundulopanchax sp., just in case a pure form of Akure comes in again.

They are really nice
