Oh! Ok, now I understand. Yeah, I thought you were responding to the ocellaris vs. percula comment which I made in passing. Ok, all understood now.

But here's my question to you then (maybe straying a little off topic now), but, I can't tell the difference between captive-raised percula and captive-raised ocellaris. Is it true that captive-raised percula lose their more prominent black edging (why would that be)? Or am I just seeing captive raised ocellaris that is just "called" percula? I've never been able to do a successful fin ray count, they're just too quick for me.

On my own pair, I'm still faced with ambiguity because the little buggers have 10 fin rays. Fautin and Allen say that one of them has "11, sometimes 10" fin rays and the other "9, sometimes 10" fin rays (I can't remember which one is which offhand). Anyways so 10 doesn't really narrow it down. It figures ...

cheers
