Well LFS have lots of stupid names for fish :)
@topgun - They are really beautiful but also very very aggressive and will not let anything else live peacefully once they are fully mature.
you would be better off keeping a pair of jaguars. |

Dude, you are antaryami. 
LFS guys do this all the time
eg. Cichlid = Chicklet, Ramirezi = Rama Rosy,etc.
If the name ain't so obvious, this leads to a lot of confusion.
When I was new to the hobby almost 9 years back, I bought a plain greyish brown coloured fish called 'Cosby Gourami' who was with me for 2 years. It was very hardy and was one of my favourites. But never saw a gourami like that later. All online searches led to the three spot Blue Gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus). But the actual fish was some different species.
I learnt, then, never ever to take an LFS vendor's word for granted. |
