I totally agree, which is why I try to go latin name whenever possible. The common names are all over the map. Latin names ... well even they can be contestable but less so than common names. Of course going by latin names tends to get a lot of eyes rolling (and the nickname a "nerd" ...) ... so you cannot win! Oh well.

In fact, John emailed me saying he cannot sex the shrimp and sell me a M & F when a couple of you have said they are hermaphrodites. And he doesn't carry the Amboinensis species.

I promise you that they are hermaphrodites. Don't worry about it: just get two, and they will spawn on you.
