I hear you Rob and I think we are all on the same page or more less. ;)
No one really gave A. ocellaris the common name perc(ula). It is kind of the word spam. It used to just mean a canned ham product, now it also means unsolicited email. Who gave it that name, well maybe in today’s information age we might be able to track that person down, but I really doubt you will ever find the person that first called a A. ocellaris and perc(ula). This is very close to another pet peeve of mine. The misidentification of clownfish species. I do not know how many times I have seen VERY VERY bad ID's. We would not put up with it in say a drug store "so is that aspirin really aspirin or antacid?". |

[B]I hear you Rob and I think we are all on the same page or more less. ;) [/B][/QUOTE] Agreed.. and it sound like we all have the same pet peeves :) |
I find it is far better to have a pet peeve, than to have no peeves at all. :D

Or no pets. . .:D

[B].....latin species names AND common names. It is up to the LFS to take the hint, but frankly it has to come from the hobbyist, by demanding that the livestock they buy be correctly identified and labeled with a latin species name and a common if they want to or need to. ....... [/B][/QUOTE] Just a minor point. These names are [b]Scientific names[/b], not Latin names. Common names are OK with me as long as it is clear. Clarity is most important. One can call a Yellow tang by it's common name because there is no possibility mistake. However, blue damsel should not be use because it refer to several species of damsels. |
in the 3rd post, what is the difference between the SI percs and the ones that you have lables as "Onyx" percs. I think that the ones from the SI are more of an onyx than the ones labeld as onyx.

Thanks,
MCQUAGLES, they would both be considered onyx. SI just stands for solomon islands (that is where they are collected). I should have left SI out or added PNG (Papa new Gunie)(sp?). DLCKWOOD:p |

|
Congrats! Can you post some pictures?

I'm glad to hear you liked the list I put together for everyone.
EVERYONE: I would like to change all of the pictures listed above to ones of your own fish. This would be so that we dont get into any copywrite problems. If you have a picture of one of the fish listed above do one of two things. 1. Post it to this site and I will use it 2. E-mail it to me I will give the person who I use their picture credit. Thanks DLCKWOOD |
We need one of these for anenomes!
|
Wow that was fantastic
|
Feel free to resize, crop and use any of these pictures, Dickwood.

Thanks, I wish everyone was as forth coming as you but thats just not the case. You are only the second or third person that has given me any pics. At this rate the pages wont get anywhere.
