http://www2.nrm.se/ve/pisces/acara/mazaruni.shtml

is a start. Since it's named for Kullander, visit the Swedish Museum of Natural History (his employer) and search there; google it in and you can get the URL. Also, you can go to groups dot yahoo dot com and find the group SACSG (which stands for South American Cichlid Study Group) and ask for information there. That's where all the "academics" hang! ;D

Fishbase also has some info on them

Not to disagree to much but
Since it's named for Kullander

Kullander gave the name it's official status it wasn't named for him


derived from the name of the Mazaruni River to which the monotypic genus appears restricted.

But I would assume, then, that he would be an expert on the species . . .but it's an easy assumption, he's an expert on everything! tmbsup
