Buntbarsche Bulletin for April
For all of you American Cichlid Association
members out there, there is a very nice article by
Dr. Uwe Römer in the April 2002 issue of the
Buntbarsche Bulletin. Sadly, it propagates the
erroneous identification of the fish in question.
To make it accurate, cross out any reference to A.
sp. Nanay and replace it with A. sp.
Parrot/Papagei. A. sp. Nanay was, when Römer first
introduced it, and still is a totally different
species altogether. The true A. sp. Nanay, as
introduced commercially by Julio Melgar in 1998,
is more closely related to A. cruzi (it is in the
cruzi species-complex) than to A. sp. Pebas. This
mix up was first reported & explained by Koslowski
in the January 2000 issue of DATZ & should have
been cleared up by now. Sadly it is now rearing
its ugly head in the English & Spanish language
literature.
