I'll be donating a group of known-provenance F1 C. myrnae to the BFD rare fish auction.
Jeff Rapps was able to bring in a few wild C. myrnae a couple of years ago, the first import of wild fish in some years. Was lucky enough to get a male and a couple of females and bred them a couple of months ago.
They're remarkably different than the ones that have been in the hobby for some time, which leads me to believe that the captive strains of C. myrnae (C. septemfasciatum, C. nanoluteus, others) have gotten mixed up over the years.
Myrnae are really shy little fish but not hard to breed. Unusual in that the females are prettier than males. Easy to sex from a young age as females have a spot on their dorsal and males don't.
I breed mine in a divided 15G and let the parents raise the fry until the fry start picking on the parents.
