I guess the events of the last few days highlights the need for all the
Groups to stanardised on the naming of "new species" coming into the hobby.
If nothing else we should be calling them by their scientific name (if
known) and their collecting point.
or if the specific name is not known but the Genus is known then they should
be known such as Chilatherina spp.(where ever they were collected from). New
"species" should not be named until it has been confirmed what the fish
actually is?
