Ooooops! I meant Jordanella. Since it has been, for most of history, a 
monospecies genus, it made little real difference. I think some 
"lumpers" just shoved pulchra (formerly Garmanella) in there, too. 
Utterly ridiculous, taxonomically, IMO.

I've seen them take nice semicircular bites out of big tough 
swordplants, too, so you take your chances with any *real* veggie 
eater. Algae eaters just might be plant eaters, too.

Stick to Apistos. :^)
