phil-
What we are trying to say, is that there is more than one colour morph of each species of fish / animals.
It would be like saying I am a different species to Dixon cause im taller and darker (that would be wrong :lol: ).
Sizes, just like colour may differ between variants of the same species as well.
There are many many "lancelota" species that are still not described as of yet.
To say it is a different species altogether is a claim that must be verified with genetic information, so that its phylogeny may be traced back.
It must be verified with real genetic information - not because I say so- but because that is the correct scientific practise, and that is what all our species (fish or otherwise) have been identified on the basis of.
Any which way it is a very nice looking specimen, and I will be getting some next year as well.
