Several of us were in Honduras in January doing research on fishes on the Atlantic side. Preserved material, both in formalin and alcohol, was brought back (we had a permit). I'm having problems reconciling DNA results with meristic, morphometric and coloration differences. We think we have at least Poecilia gilli, orri and hondurensis. Anyone out there who has experience with these species or can refer me to someone. If so please send me a PM. and as a teaser, I'll show you one of them.
