Jason,

Nyete is a locality in the south of Cameroon, near the border of
Equitorial Guinea. From that region of Cameroon,  the taeniatus from
Lobe and Nyete (and Grand Batanga - does anyone still have this form?)
are variations of the same "theme". The males lack black spotting on the
caudal, as do the females on both the dorsal and caudal. Nyete is a very
nice fish and not very problematical to keep, breed and raise.
