S. tarzoo

Or at least that is was Sven Kullander and company are suggesting.

So, if it gets adopted by the ICZN, all you Rio Tefe owners will be changing your sigs to S. tarzoo

Cool article from PFK

Man I hate when people don't italicize the Latin names :P

It's my form of protest against the ICZN until they officially adopt Mikrogeophagus and finally loose Papiliochromis

That's my story and I'm sticking to it  ;D

I agree heartily about the mikrogeophagus, but what the heck, where in there does it explain where tarzoo comes from, I mean honestly, what self respecting discus is not going to be embarrassed being called a tarzoo.
