I too have seen some good bargains this way. About 20 years ago I saw a department store tank with a Black Ghost Knifefish in it. The label on the tank read "All fish $1.98". Obviously the Black Ghost went home and then to a fish auction very fast! Even though incorrect IDs are good for some, what happens when people advertise apistos for sale in the the ACA Trading Post or ASG Apisto-Emporium with these incorrect name? You buy expecting one thing and get something you don't want.
