Does anyone know if there is a difference between the Laguna Yaxha, Guatemala' race melanura and the Lago peten race? From the research I've done it looks like the Lago peten race have quite a bit more orange but seems like that could be more of their breeding dress. Any info would be great! Thanks
 
Somebody just posted a pic of the Melanirum they got from Rapps. Like a week ago. Looks almost identical to mine, and that's the 2 different collection points.

Look up Led Nuttals videos of the Melanurum he has, they look real similar too.
 
Lee's youtube channel. He's got several different types of melanurus/synspilum on there.

The guy that posted the Melanurus he got from Rapps is tiger15. He posted to your thread. Compare his to the Lago Peten I have--they're are very similar.
 
Ok I thought that's who you were talking about. Well I'll have to order a few of the Lago peten from COA and see how they compare with my Laguna Yaxha, Guatemala' race melanura.
 
better keep 'em in separate tanks. I don't think you'll be able to tell em apart once you mix em all up.
