Hi everyone
Now you start to see the problems involved bye using common names. The next problem is that the names could be different from country to country and especially from both sides of the atlantic.
I will go back to the killifish keepers.(They have really been thinking at times)They use a combination of scientic and common names like Roloffia roloffi "Brahma town" or Aphyosemion gardneri "Nsukka". This is used bye all the killifish owners, and has eliminated all mix ups using the colloction site and the scientific name.
Our problem is that people don`t know where most of their animals comes from, but maybe that will chance in the future.
Best wishes
Søe
