GTR73 Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Merjo's probably spot on, but bear in mind some fish will change name overnight as they are reclassified into another species family by scientists at the Lake. So the result sometimes is a certain fish will be known as a Copidichromis species in the USA, but a Otopharynx species in Europe(or Oz). So if you look for Otopharynx "Yellowfin Mloto" on the Net you may not find any hits. Commercial names also can confuse the heck out of everyone. Just thought I'd mention this before you go scouring the Net for info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
