Actually, I didn't say the specific specimens offered by MS were integrates. I simply stated the majority of D. m melanurus I have seen imported into the US, as of late, are phenotypic of D. m melanurus x D. m unicolor integrates, as most recent imports tend to harbor mahogany to faded brown posterior coloration, not the “indigo” tail I associate with a true D. m melanurus.

Best regards,
