I am the same way. Every time someone says "Has anyone heard of Apistogramma sp "xxxx", I picture Mike getting out this little weathered notepad and scribbling down the name muttering some latin curseword under his breath. I think exporters sit in front of their tanks, have a few adult beverages and start giggling out names like teenagers knowing they are tormenting poor Mike. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Vannerson" <William_Vannerson@ama-assn.org> To: <apisto@listbox.com> Sent: Monday, March 05, 2001 10:20 AM Subject: Re: "Tibba" Apistogramma Mike wrote >>>This is another new name for me. Poor, Mike! Every time I see a new Apisto 'trade name' cross the list I can't think that he's fighting a losing battle. Although eventually the names will be sorted out, lumped, split, lumped again, etc. Then information from Mike's list will be invaluable. Keep up the great work, Mike.
