Re: what's a SJO? Latin Names

Yes.  I remember as a kid the explanation that common  names vary and are
changeable while the Latin ones are accurate & stick.  My response was " look
at the Tiger Barb" who has remained a Tiger Barb even though the colors have
changed. They have had at least 2 generic changes and God knows how many
species they've been  Now I'm faced with incredible changes in Killies since
I left 20 yrs ago.  I hope to catch up; but its slow; and its sort of a
"putdown" for someone who once a long time ago thought he was a scientist.
