Re: What to call your gardneri
Simple. Except they are not an aquarium strain. They have a
location that a number of us went to considerable trouble to identify and
spell correctly not long ago. They are not hybrids (Unless whoever sent
them to the Convention was cross-breeding them). The location is not lost.
I see no reason why it would be dropped as long as they are maintained as a
pure strain.
