The affinis pagwis are sold as Lake Emas with "pagwis" in quotes when people
want to know. I think it's prettier than the NG blue affinis. but because of
the stupid name it ( the NG Blue) sells better. The morons of the trade bus.
can already say turquoise so that is the name for M. lacustris. That still
doesn't mean that the fish at that particular petshop is an affinis (NG Blue).
They change the names as quick as they can, re the recent mention in the RML of
several colors of fish being called the same name.
