Alright, im glad theyre finally differentiating the various black-barred SD/pacu but its still confusing imo. Is the newly designated Myloplus sauron the smaller growing "thinbar" SD weve always called myleus schomburgkii or would that be the newly designated Myloplus aylan? And would that make the now "true" Myleus schomburgkii the larger "widebar" SD/pacu?


Help me out here F FJB

Sort of a silly name...i can see the bar resembling the "iris" of sauron just barely but the fish has no markings or coloration that resemble the blazing red/yellow flames of the actual eye. If anything the widebars actually look more like the eye of sauron since they get a sort of rusty red hue when very large.
