We report a series of magnetic and transport measurements on high-quality single crystal samples of colossal magnetoresistive manganites, La_{0.7} Ca_{0.3} Mn O_3 and Pr_{0.7} Sr_{0.3} Mn O_3. 1 % Fe doping allows a Moessbauer spectroscopy study, which shows (i) unusual line broadening within the ferromagnetic phase and (ii) a coexistence of ferro- and paramagnetic contributions in a region, T_1T_2. This shows that phase separation into metallic (ferromagnetic) and insulating (paramagnetic) phases cannot be generally responsible for the resistivity peak (and hence for the associated colossal magnetoresistance). Our results can be understood phenomenologically within the two-fluid approach, which also allows for a difference between T_C and T_{MI}. Our data indeed imply that while magnetic and transport properties of the manganites are closely interrelated, the two transitions at T_C and T_{MI} can be viewed as distinct phenomena.
