Jean-Pierre - if someone has incorrectly labeled a fish on a web page
then you would be well advised to let them know about it directly. There
is no way that such a mistake is deliberate, there are no M. affinis
varieties native to Australia, although at least one is kept here. There
are no m. trifasciata in New Guinea, therefore M. trifasciata "Goyder" is
an oxymoron - no responsible person would deliberately name a fish thus,
therefore it must be a simple typo, one better corrected by a quick
private email to the party concerned.
