Champoton Gambusia (Carlhubbsia kidderi & formely known as Allophallus kidderi )...
Champotón River basin, Mexico.
The genus "Carlhubbsia" is named after American ichthyologist Dr. Carl Leavitt Hubbs (1894–1979). The species name "kidderi" is named after American archaeologist Alfred Vincent Kidder (1885–1963).
Generally, they reach up tp 2-3cm (so, just over an inch. But in the wild they become bigger and reaches about 5cm (approx. 2 inches).
It's a superfetative livebearer.
I'm trying to collect all smallest livebearers. At this moment I've got the Heterandria elegans, Quintana atrizona, Phalllichthys tico, Calrhubbsia kidderi and I've lost my population of Neoheterandria elegans. They'd stopped breeding and it was just a matter of time before they all died. At this moment it's a bit hard to get my hands on new ones of the N.elegans. As if they've vanished from the market at the moment.
The Champoton Gambusia group wasn't cheap. But hey, sometimes you need to invest...
