Xiphophorus maculatus (Günther)

( Fig. 71 , CA[SPC])

Remarks. Fernando & Phang (1994) stated that this species had been very likely introduced as an escaped pet fish in the 1940s, and they easily hybridise with P. latipinna . This species is commonly sold as live feed in the ornamental fish trade (Tan HH, pers. obs.).
