Yeah, jumping is the only reason I never got one of these guys earlier... but this was an adoption.

i id'd my purple spots as mogurnda adspersa, not mogurnda mogurnda. apart from where i caught them being in the correct rasnge and i did a horizontal and vertical scale count.
good to see that there is a large population in one of the creeks in brisbane.

Might be a wide used term in America maybe and where people try to imitate american culture, wait, your from Brisbane...
errr yep that one. Lol no I was actually referring to dudzy and the toga/grasshopper combo. But not a bad pic of the bullosus. Why do you think it was a hybrid? If its one I gave you it is pure bullosus.amehel0;3573620; said:
Well the term did originate in America in the 1700's. I'd say thats plenty of time for it to be adopted by us and not considered an americanism. Unless used in the "raise your hands holla holla I'm a baller what what" way.dingoofus;3574619; said:
Anyway back to fish, Alex your purple yurples (brisbamerican speak for purple anythings
) will be M. adspersa based on distribution. Don't rely entirely on scale counts if they come from around Cairns though, one of my lecturers did his pHD on them amongst other things(M. splendida complex and Caridina zebra) and found in northern populations of M. adspersa and M. mogurnda there is a wide gradient for physical identifiers like scale counts with some populations being outside the norm of both species but morphologically more similar to M. adspersa. Genetic analysis revealed they were in fact more closely related to M. mogurnda which throws a spanner in the works (possible new Mogurnda species? Complex form?)Crazy brisbane yuppies, lol. I know bass are considered slow growers, but how slow are we talking, does anyone have rough estimates?
