I'd hate to think we have another one, but is it possible this is
another cross from that breeder who's making up his own scientific
names? I know the marci is in the states and a boesemani cross being
sold under the trifasciata name. But I'm not aware of any other
deliberate misrepresentations. Well that is other than many fish out
of Florida that have been accidentally crossed.
