This has been discussed many times before, but - according to Ken Davis, who collected them - Rio Copan is a tributary to Rio Blanco, so both varieties are the same fish.

They just collected in the smaller tributary (connected to the larger river) less than a mile upstream for ease of collecting... and not because the wild fish populations are different in any way.

There is no difference. That's the point.

The fish in the Rio Copan and the Rio Blanco are free to interbreed (and I'm sure they do). That Ken and the other folks who collected them labeled the fish from one collecting expedition "Rio Copan" and the other "Rio Blanco" doesn't mean that they're different fish...just that they collected one time from one place and the other time at a spot just up the river.

God only knows what line breeding and whatever has been done with them since, but the wild populations are the same fish.

Absolutely - nice fish!

It just astounds me that people - and the OP in particular - keep trying to create two different kinds of fish out of one.

"It's real simple, we collect in the Rio Blanco because it's a smaller tributery to the Copan and easier to collect, The Rio Blanco's in the hobby came from a location about a mile from where the Blanco runs into the Copan, so basically they are all the same fish. All the fish from the Blanco and Copan came from 4 collecting trips we made from 2006-2009. Ken"

Ken is the guy who went on all 4 collecting trips, caught them and brought them into the hobby. I think he would know...

What's happened to the fish fish after 8 or 9 years of captive breeding? Who knows.

I'd assume that the OP will continue to sell his as "high quality fry Rio copan not Rio blanco" or whatever. Now you know why that makes no sense :)

Juan, are you going to the PVAS meeting next Saturday 2/7 ?

I am interested in 8 of the Motaguensis juvies. I live in Virginia so I am available to pickup on any weekend if that works for you.

Thanks,
Shawn
