most likely, yes, u are right. However, we always need to keep in mind that whitei is a species-complex, and we do not know what turns out in the end being a separate species and what is the 'real' whitei.

hell, it's hard enough getting a group of biologists to agree on what even constitutes a "species" :rofl:

True! I put it wrong. According to our current knowledge (taxonomy).
Thanks!

Can someone show me Charon grayi

depends on which population/island u are refering too. Bevcause in same cases it is much easier and safer with the presence of reddish hairs on the posterior margin of the genital operculum in females!

Hi!
The population of Mindanao. Do they also have reddish hairs? Unfortunately, I haven't seen one, then they are all male. 😔

I try. They weren't keen on me holding them yesterday. I didn't see hair even at 20x magnification.

The ceylonicus 2 pseudo-pregnancies have ended, the third individual is still carrying it. However, since then there are other 2-sexed egg sacs under females number four and five. 😁

Hey there @Banshee05 I know you mentioned that P. goesii are bigger in Martinique vs St. Martin. Would you happen to have a side by side?

unfortunately not.
MINE Martinique were big as e.g., exsul, or even more massiv.
All other goesii I had/have are a drawf compared to ;)
however, no picture hand by hand are available. I was never able to breed my 3 female goesii from Martinique.
AND however again, most likely it is just a affect of time and density.

Hello,
One thing is for sure, the Goesii from Guadeloupe is bigger than the St. Maartini. St. Maartini was born under care of Banshee05 in 07/2019, Guadeloupe was born under my care in 01/2021. Both are female.
The photos were just taken with phone because of the post, the quality is not so good, sorry.
