Well, I'd consider that an inhibition of your right to fredom of speech, and
an inhibition of my right to learn something based on supportable science.

Anyone got any experiences with the fish listed as 'White Seam' in the Romer
Atlas?
In with some Dicrossus from Colombia at a local outlet were four 1cm
Apistos. I had an spare tank so I picked them up to try to find out what
they were (they were very ropey, one died en route).
They appear to be the fish mentioned above, and have settled in quite
happily in a small aquarium with some leaf litter, a couple of small catfish
and an unID'd Parosphromenus for company (the labyrinth is only in there
'cos it was chasing my P. ornaticauda).
They are very attractive little fish, but obviously at this size they could
easily still turn out to be something else.
I'd welcome any suggestions or comments.
Pete.
