RE: How 'bout that!

[Ken Laidlaw <kl@roe.ac.uk>]

Crenicara filamentosa and Dicrossus filamentosus are the same fish.
Crenicara is the old name I believe.

C.punctulata is a different species and still called Crenicara.  It is a
larger more bulky fish than the slender filamentosa.

Pictures of both species can be found on the Krib, www.thekrib.com/apisto
