Recent field surveys and genetic analysis show that Melanotaenia
eachamensis is not restricted to Lake Eacham on the Atherton Tableland
in northern Australia. A new study is documenting the morphometrics of
this amd other rainbowfishes from the area. Nevertheless I agree that
ANGFA members have played a valuable role in keeping records of
laboratory populations and their origins.
