Oops,

Did it again. Change mine vote to Archocentrus nigrofasciatum. The eyes have it.

Thanks

I know I'm wrong but is it a black convict?

 

[reefrunner69]

Yes it is, but the object was to guess the scientific name....

 

[CRaZeeeBiTcHisH]

i know this is cheating, but the scientific name for the convict is 8)

 

[CRaZeeeBiTcHisH]

ohmigod, i must have left something off....Cichasoma nigrofasciatum
lol

 

[reefrunner69]

Unless they have reclassified the genus latley, the genus name is Archocentrus.

 

[CRaZeeeBiTcHisH]

ah well, dang google--found the other name first but went and put that one in too and got convicts, i don't have a reference book--is there an official site that has the names?

 

[reefrunner69]

Well there are several references, but the simple fact is the fish could have been reclassified, several times in the past few years. For S/W fish, I use Dr. Burgess' Atlas, for ID, but I know there have been several fish reclassified since I bought mine 8O So whatever reference you use...make sure it is the latest edition possible
