Re: [Killietalk] Blue Gularis

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at centurytel_net>]

You have to be careful about anything you read in the old literature 
about blue gularis and the other fish it was confused with. There was 
confusion between it, then known as Aphyosemion coeruleum and the 
so-called Golden Pheasant, now known as Callopanchax occidentalis, but 
then know an Aphyosemion sjoestedti. I would have to look up up when 
this confusion, caused by a mididentification, was cleared up, but as I 
recall it was in the 1960s. Anyway if old literature refers to Aphyo. 
sjoestedti it is probably referring to C. occidentalis.
