Re: [Killietalk] Chromaphyosemion splendopleure at Welcome page

Hi Tony, I was hoping it wasn't the vague 'multicolor' SPP but thanks
for the species definition. In the case of our cover girl, should it
read as *Aphyosemion (Chrom) splendopleure* 'Multicolor'?

It can get confusing at times when various spots in Europe still use
Chromaphyosemion as main genus.
