That link confirms my previous statement.

Yellow-heads are a carribean species and the blue-spots comes from the sea of cortez off the west coast of mexico. Some additional info...

Sorry to have hi-jacked your thread Ian. Both are great fish and I would definately be interested if I had my tank up and running.

oooops, sorry muck, after checking distributions on fishbase I see you're absolutely right. don't how how I got that mixed up before.

ian, sorry for the hijack too. anyways, I have been considering a yellowhead jaw for a new tank I'm setting up... so I'm a tentative yes for now at least couldn't justify paying the usual tag on a blue spot though.

Thanks for the input everyone! And no problem with the hijack stuff, there is nothing wrong with making a correction as far as where species are collected!
