And also assuming you aren't able to comprehend what I wrote (and what Matt wrote), I did not say all motaguensis in the hobby ever hail from Ken Davis... Read the topic title, RIO COPAN AND RIO BLANCO.

...thats it, let it slowly go down your throat, don't choke, don't choke...





...on your own comments
It's obvious (if english is your first language or you speak it well) that Matt is saying ALL of the fish in the hobby that are Rio Copan/Blanco... Because that's what the topic is about.
Don't choke... On your (lack of) reading comprehension skills...?

Obviously motaguensis (and Matt! Lol) have been around a lot longer than Ken's collection trip.

We are specifically talking about the differences between the Rio Copan and the Rio Blanco collection points in motaguensis.

Ken Davis has collected these fish himself and brought them back to the US and distributed them... He literally commented on this thread and said they're the same fish. I don't know if Mojo has collected them on that trip, love to hear his thoughts as well.

The classification and re-classification of fish doesn't (usually) reflect confusion or petty arguments...but the progress of science.

We (scientists) know a heck of a lot more about the relationships among the various Genera than we did before the advent of DNA testing. And new techniques and additional research will illuminate more (as well as uncover new questions).

The variability of life isn't simple. Cichlids don't lend themselves well to classification into discrete species. To some that's fascinating. To others, it seems to bring great frustration.

Like Ive said before, even the "expert" Master degree Ichthyologists and researchers are SOOO confused with the fishes that they go back and forth naming and renaming species/genus. And then we are SOOO knowledgable that we stand by those studies and labels until........it gets changed again. Whoops. :nutkick:

I wonder how many people have argued about different names given to Jack. Well hey maybe it really is just the same Jack, or maybe there are different Jacks, or maybe nobody knows Jack except for Jack himself.....and Mrs. Dempsey of course

It's real simple, we collect in the Rio Blanco because it's a smaller tributery to the Copan and easier to collect, The Rio Blanco's in the hobby came from a location about a mile from where the Blanco runs into the Copan, so basically they are all the same fish. All the fish from the Blanco and Copan came from 4 collecting trips we made from 2006-2009. Ken
:) these threads are a joke. @Calihawk maybe just a few basic comprehension classes might be best for you as you seem to have missed the point completely.
