Ged Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Fantastic list. I really like that you have listed them using their scientific names. Common names are very unreliable and can vary and cause confusion. This is particular the case for those starting out in the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Brasco Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thanks ged it took me ages to look each one up to get spelling correctly lol but I knew you guys would appreciate it better, how ever I still think of them with there common names.

Ged Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 It certainly impressed me. The beauty is that you know both. Just a small thing but a key principal when using the scientific name is that the Genus (first part of the name) uses a capital letter and the species (second part) is lower case i.e. Protomelas taeniolatus.
