Assunto: RE: Michael Koeck's idea

Thanks Colin,
 
It’s great news to hear that Topiltzin will be commencing the review of
Mexican freshwater species, which will allow the holders of Cyprinodonts to
prioritise which species to keep.  I am sure there will be many more
additions to the list of those requiring captive management and perhaps some
of those that we have worked with for years may be lower priority now.
 
I can add to Colin’s list that the ZSL hold the following species:
 
Cyprinodon alvarezi
Cyprinodon longidorsalis
Cyprinodon veronicae
Cualac tesselatus
Aphanius dispar dispar
Valencia letourneuxi (Pinios River)
Valencia letourneuxi (Corfu island)
Ameca splendens
Ataeniobius toweri
Chapalichthys pardalis
Characodon lateralis
Girardinichthys viviparus
Ilyodon furcidens ameca
Zoogoneticus tequila
Skiffia francesae
Allotoca goslinae
 
At ZSL we have dedicated our entire breeding room over to Goodeids, holding
at least two populations of each species we keep.  This is due to expand in
2009 with a large number of holding tanks of 500 litres each.  I am
therefore greatly anticipating the reviewed list so that we can prioritise
our expansion.  I have been speaking to Jonny Rudd at Bristol Zoo and they
also have several holding tanks available in which they would like to keep
priority species of Cyprindonts.
 
I agree that the work of the Fish Ark should be fully supported in Mexico
and our aim at ZSL will be to provide back up populations of key species as
advised by them.
 
Best regards to everyone for a great 2009!
 
Brian
