Pappan Cks are more yellowish in real life with red fins - quite similar to
M. herbertaxelrodi.

Running Cks are at their best an orangebodied fish with red lines and deep
pink fins.

Both may be available from Gilbert Maebe of the IRG

Wenlocks are more greenish in the bidy colour but a very nice fish too.

Giddy River conditions were similar to Cape York - soft and acid but not as
extreme. From memory around 10 -20 ppm hardness and pH 6.6
