FYI good blue-eye shots are about 50 times harder to take than good
trifasciata shots. Zooming in from three inches to a one inch fish is not
easy. Then getting them to really show their stuff, like we see them in our
tanks is another thing. Unfortunately a plain shot, like so many of the
early tenellus pics is probably more harmful than helpful.

re won't touch a wanamensis - Bruce, what do you think of the early
wanamensis photo that Ron Bowman took for Fishes of Sahul? It was one of
the first 2-3 years and was a pasted in photo. Was that a real
wanamensis???
