I don't think a reference is required, but if you know one, that will 
help Barry check the accuracy. Barry went to a lot of work to "clean up" 
the list, but we know it's not perfect as a reference (can it ever be?). 
My hope is to get it as accurate as the F&EL, since that's the standard 
members will comapre it too.

We don't want to add just any name someone comes up with, but names that 
are generally accepted in the hobby will be added as we come across 
them. If you know of valid names that are missing, even if you don't 
have the fish, please use either the form on the site or an email to 
Barry to list them.
