Akio CI 2021 COCCA 19 09 Boumayombi 10 Nyanga 14 Ississa During a trip to Congo in 2019, Laurent Chirio, Christophe Aubin and myself, discovered a new Epiplatys in the greater Mayombe forest, which today delights many European killifish fans. After the trip, Christophe Aubin and I both bred them and distributed two populations: Epiplatys sp "COCCA 2019-09 Boumayombi" and Epiplatys sp "COCCA 2019-10 Nyanga". It should be pointed out however, that these two populations are almost certainly the same because they occupy same small hydrographic basin. They were collected only 600 meters apart, in two very small rivers flowing in the same direction. That of collection point 09 joined another small river which collection point 10 probably also joined." - Christian CAUVET, 2023, FB.

GEM6-6 ... it belongs to the ansorgii group. 2 characters are diagnostic for this group: 1. black spot or bar on "cheek" (multifasciatus and related species have a white cheek). 2. The upper jaw doesn't fit completely into lower jaw, therefore the snout in sexfasciatus and multifasciatus looks flatter. sexfasciatus-group can always be separated from all other Lower Guinea Epiplatys by having the frontal neuromasts in separate pits (left) . All other species have both neuromasts in 1 pit (right) - jvdz - Apr 27, Facebook. Mongo Mongo, Yemejin-Ecucu River, Equatorial Guinea.

April 75km very small stream that becomes bigger tributary to kasai river. 35 km before Masam mbia (masham mbio). Parc du Mondah Sindara "On my trip to Gabon in the 1988, together with Roland Numrich, we discovered not far from the village Sindara a colorful Epiplatys species. It resembles a little bit Epiplatys huberi, but the last years so many new species have been described - so probably our Epiplatys sp. "Sindara" will follow sooner or later. In 2001, on my trip with Steffen Hellner, we collected this fish again and Heinz Ott, who is specialized in Epiplatys could keep this variety until now. Some month ago he returned three pairs to me - and was happy to breed them again - as the males are so beautiful" - Friedrich Bitter, Dec 19, 2013, Facebook. roland-congo
