When I've raised the question of Moliwe vs other taeniatus populations with other West African cichlid keepers, it's been really easy to reach a consensus. The observation that they're quite different has been made by most everyone who has kept several populations. I guess that shows there's value to hobbyist observations, eh? I think I'm veering into the world of armchair taxonomic splitters.... sounds better than being an "armchair lumper". -Gary Mike & Diane Wise wrote: > > Gary, > > Maybe it's because Loiselle believes it is not Pv. taeniatus, but Pv. callipterus > - and he has some good arguments for this idea. > > Mike Wise > > Frauley/Elson wrote: > > > Moliwe is a weird taeniatus though.
