D.filamentosus

[David Sanchez <barbax2@yahoo.com>]

just a quick side note here. Has anyone noticed that there are two
color variaties of D.filamentosus. I was tailking with one of my
exporters and he was explaining to me that the D.filamentosus I was
getting were of a diffrent location ( I was I was paying more
attention as to where, I will ask him next time I go down) Honestly
perhaps i am not justified in saying that there are color varieties as
the diffrences are subtle. But overall the overall color scheen of
this D.filamentosus in question is red as opposed to blue by the one i
am more familiar with. Most importantly i have spawned D.filamentosus
quit a few times all from wild fish and never really had any problems
but these buggers were tuff! i had to really fuss over them before
they finally got feeling at home and gave me a little shoal of fry. I
found myself boiling peatmoss, monitering the Ph, and just acting like
they were the first Dwarfs I ever spawned. I must admit, it was with
great anticipation that I welcomed mama out from under some bogwood
with her little shoal!!!
 And it was not just a pair i had a few dozen. Just wondering if
anyone had any similar experiences? or is familier with the two
variations i am talking about? or perhaps it was simply the geographic
location where they came from?
