Fig. 230. Panchax panchax (Slightly Reduced * 



One of the regular aquarium favorites. The dark edging in the fins represents a 

 bright orange-red, while the body is suffused with a glowing mixture of warm colors 

 Males have dark outer edge on fins. Breeding habits, page 242 (No. 18). 



Fig. 231. Aphyosemion australe (formerly known as Haplochilus cameronensis) 



In direct sunlight, coming from behind the observer and striking fully on the fish, 

 he is indeed a sight to behold — a combination of harmonious blendings and striking con- 

 trasts. They die rather easily, especially if the water gets a little cool. The illustration is 

 of a maximum size not usually reached. Females have rounded tails and are not at all 

 brilliant. A callurium is so nearly similar that a photograph will not intelligibly 

 record the difference. Breeding habits, page 242 (No. 18).
