Characodon Audax - A rare and beautiful livebearer

10/07/2022

The team at Laboratorio de BiologΓ­a AcuΓ‘tica has just announced their project to reintroduce the Golden Skiffia, π‘†π‘˜π‘–π‘“π‘“π‘–π‘Ž π‘“π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘›π‘π‘’π‘ π‘Žπ‘’ is one month away from a full reintroduction into this species natural habitat, specifically the TeuchitlΓ‘n River in the state of Jalisco, Mexico.

Original announcement - https://www.facebook.com/AquaLabMorelia/posts/pfbid0tJQZ8cjA4KTbLopc7o8KERZmKYWoMhhG11j4eSW4ufy7RoLh78iTofYq5reFzLgCl

π‘†π‘˜π‘–π‘“π‘“π‘–π‘Ž π‘“π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘›π‘π‘’π‘ π‘Žπ‘’ has long been considered probably extinct in the wild, originally thought to be only surviving thanks to the efforts of aquarists mainly from Europe and the United States, who have kept and bred specimens in captivity for several decades. More recently, a few relict populations of π‘†π‘˜π‘–π‘“π‘“π‘–π‘Ž π‘“π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘›π‘π‘’π‘ π‘Žπ‘’ have been found on the edges of their former range, in small creeks that were once flowing rivers.

A great introduction to this species from the Goodeid Working Group can be found here - http://www.goodeidworkinggroup.com/skiffia-francesae

Laboratorio de BiologΓ­a AcuΓ‘tica, the same project behind the successful reintroduction of the Tequila Splitfin, π‘π‘œπ‘œπ‘”π‘œπ‘›π‘’π‘‘π‘–π‘π‘’π‘  π‘‘π‘’π‘žπ‘’π‘–π‘™π‘Ž, has taken the lead with the process of reintroducing this beautiful goodeid back into the TeuchitlΓ‘n River. The π‘†π‘˜π‘–π‘“π‘“π‘–π‘Ž π‘“π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘›π‘π‘’π‘ π‘Žπ‘’ reintroduction process is complex and is the result of many years of study that continues, with the aim that the reintroduced population will grow and distribute.
