Did they recently reclassify them?!

Heck, I can't keep track as often as they get reclassified anymore, so not sure exactly when it happened. :) Just happened to be playin' around on-line awhile back and noticed the name change, and verified it with Fishbase and the Catalog of Fishes, which are the most up to date sources for valid names I know of.

Personally I think most of the peacocks/mbuna are tacky, generic and rather ugly. Ever since they have become popular it seems they have been crossbred/over-bred and all their coloration genetic traits muddied.
