Mike, I definitely came back with at least two to three different species
in the regani/eunotus complexes/groups.   I definitely have fish from one
site that are
regani, another site that are definitely not regani, and then I haven't
studied the other sites yet!!  It isn't the best of circumstances ID ing
fish in a net, plastic tub or tiny photo tank, but I tried.  I am just
dying for the fish lights to come on now so I can peer into the tanks.

Still rocking from the boat and a bad case of jet lag after traveling for
48 hours before we got home to sleep in a bed.  I will keep you updated.

Also have some fish from the Negro I will need help with ID ing.  One has
the prettiest caudal fin I have seen.  we will post pictures when we get
some!

Thanks
Kathy
