Greetings all!

I'll try to be succint> I'm sure you know that this will require an effort on my
part;-)

The Rooster gave me some fish a year ago which came to me as M.fluviatilis
Grafton. In Allen's first book there is a photo on pg. 43 which is very much
like the fish I have. I don't know where Roy got these fish.

At the time of Allen's book these fish were Fluviatilis. A subsequent revision
resulted in Duboulayi becoming a distinct species.

My question is this: does the fish I have automatically become known as M.
Duboulayi Grafton? The reason I ask is that although I assumed it did, I still
see it referred to as M.Fluviatilis. Since Grafton NSW is on the coast this can
no longer be the case?
