Must have taken ages to go though all those names and distinguish identical entries with different names, Would hate to have to have done that. Good job though smile.gif

Thats helpful good.gif. Was at a store today I saw some pseudomugil furcata in a tank, the store normally uses scientific names, they had them labeled as Popondetta furcata which was their scientific name 40 years ago laugh.gif . They've had their name changed 3 different times. They started as pseudomugil furcata in 1955, changed to Popondetta furcata in 1980, changed to Popondichthys furcatus in 1987, then went back to Pseudomugil furcatus in 1987 wacko.gif . Needless to say I bought some biggrin.gif.

Its not just marine life, the scientists (taxinomists?) who go through and reclassify any form of existing life are trying to swim up a waterfall, theres massive overclassification out there.
