Description

Deepwater Creek, QLD which is the point dividing M. duboulayi in the south from M.s. splendida in the north.
While technically classified as an M.s. splendida, genetic testing of fish from Deepwater Creek shows a significant presence of M. duboulayi genes, indicating the potential for a stable hybrid.
