I integrated the fish survey with the main site

http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fish-survey.0.html

I pulled the list from the maf website at

http://www.maf.govt.nz/biosecurity/impo ... #appendix1

While going over the list I noticed the following entry

Acanthophthalmus spp, Coolie loaches

Is that correct ??

I always thought it was Kuhli loach

The beauty of common names is that they often come in

a variety of spellings... It's derived from the specific name

of one species, A. kuhlii.

There's a good article at: http://www.loaches.com/kloach.shtml

Interestingly enough, I'd met Al Castro as he was a killifish guy, but

he died back in February.
