Ok, I'll come clean. I guess I sort of qualify as a biologist.
I do have an Honours BSc and I did specialize in Ichthyology
(Specifically, salmon toxicology and embryology). But, hell, I
work with these stupid machines these days, so I'm a little out of
touch with the real world 8-}.

Despite this, I have no idea of the answers to Richard's questions.
In fact, I didn't realize that there was a revision occurring with
Apistogramma spp. Anyway, since you can still get Dwarf Rams
(used to be Apistogramma ramerizi (spelling?)), despite our
best efforts to impose an artificial taxonomy, the fish continue
to rise above it...
