DNA Identification & Vendors

[flowerpower]

What other herichthys species? are found in Media Luna besides labridens, bartoni, and carpintis?

 

[NorCaliCichlids]

I believe Steindachneri. I recall the hybrids having a more elongate face and a yellow labs body from the pics.

They're not found in Media Luna, they're found in Tamasopo and other locations. I have one Steindachneri/Labridens hybrid. It was caught wild.

To answer the question "what specimen is used as the starting point for that DNA?", there is a specimen or parts of a specimen preserved somewhere that is the base line for comparison. Though using DNA sequencing could eliminate much of the hybrid debate, I do not believe that this will happen. Too much time and effort would be needed to satisfy a very small population.

that means we don't care ...
