I know a while ago Fishbase had the valid name for P. guttatus listed as P. loennbergi, however I was just looking on there and it seems they've now changed it to P. monkei as an umbrella name for lots of previous species. Which is valid (I know guttatus is the most commonly used)?

Very nice, how big are they? Mine's about 7/8" at the moment.

Are you keeping them then Wolfy? They're very shiny.

Eurgh, locarids. Not really my cup of tea- I prefer things like Clarotidae, that sort of body shape. Tap water, most likely hard, alkali etc, I don't bother testing for pH and hardness, if a species can't adapt, it's not worth me keeping. That said, all my fish sources use local tap water even for ...

I'm looking for either a single fish or a breeding pair of something. I'm currently after a pair of dwarf snakeheads, but not sure if that's likely to happen. If I have a single fish, I want it to be large, unusual and personable, same applies for a breeding pair. Any ideas?
