Hi Graeme,
Bruce Sambell from Ausyfish (used to be Aquarium Fish Farms
Of Australia) is breeding them up at his place in Childers. They are
undescribed yet. A few people have seen them and we all have said they look
like something different. Personally, I think they look like they could be
very closely related to M. maccullochi. But I will defer to the taxonomists
when they gettheir hands on it :) They are from a creek called Hidden Valley
up around Cairns or Townsville way, I can't remember which place Bruce said.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ken.
