Other Comments: This is a relatively new import which was brought to Germany in 2002. It was for a long time the first appearance of true Aphyosemion elegans to the hobby. Another strain was also obtained with similar breeding and maintenance characteristics. The other strain is called Aphyosemion elegans "Lui Kotale". Both strains are established in the german hobby and are ready for redistribution. Please contact Axel Schwekendiek at axel@killi.org, if intersted.
