Very interesting specimens. Do you know their current status in the wild? I've been very curious about other species from that region.

Justin - I don't think their status has been determined. They are usually endemic to one remote lake or stream, so their numbers and range have never been very large (and no two occupy the same lake). Most of their habitats are situated in and the volcanic peaks of central Mexico around Mexico City.
