[Killietalk] give linneatus its proper name

["Edd Kray" <edd at catfishnthecrawlers_com>]

I'd like to politely make a suggestion to the list and admittedly it
shows me to be an old "phart" and a curmudgeon. 

I notice MANY using the term "golden wonders" when speaking of their
first experiences with killies. We are speaking, of course, of the
Aplocheilus lineatus tank-bred strain displaying the un-natural gold
coloration.

Nevertheless they ARE Aplocheilus lineatus and I humbly recommend that
they be referred to by their appropriate species designation.

Perhaps my objection comes from the fact that I don't like the Pet
Industry, and the kind of folks who run PetsMart controlling the
language used by otherwise literate, knowledgeable aquarists here on
killitalk.

Anyway, this is one guys opinion and you are free to disagree as it is
just an opinion.
