What The Heck Are Zebras Concidered Now?

I was told psuedo zebra is no longer the name? Wtf?

Pseudotropheus Zebra became Maylandia Zebra sometime ago. At the same time many of the species that came under this name were re-classified.

The issue was then further confused by the introduction of Metriaclima - The link below describes this in detail if you're interested.

Yeah that is pretty confusing stuff! But thank you nonetheless!

Basically the scientists are arguing over which of the new genus' is more valid - Maylandia or Metriaclima.....Clear as mud.
