Similarities in disparate spcies of killifish

Although it's well understood African and South American killifish split off about 250 million years ago rates of evolution are not the same everywhere. If they evolved very slowly, which some do (some don't) then we mught expect to fine related fish that still share an ancestral color pattern. These are all examples of this.
