Cichld Guessing Game, CA/SA Cichlids Only!!

[Peanut_Power]

Aight, so heres how this is gonna work, I'll post a picture of a SA/CA cichlid. Then the first person to CORRECTLY name that cichlid, scientific name so there is no confusion, will get to post a new pic. of a different cichlid. It doesn't have to be a cichlid you own either. Hopefully this will add a little zam and bam to this forum! Best of luck to yaz all! Gonna try my best to stump yaz! :D Let the games begin!! :D

[dialphantom]

[Peanut_Power]

You are still multiposting, makes it a pain to read and you easy to ignore, it is not a chat room so you can take a minute to collect your thoughts. Reread the forum rules on the home page please. You can access them by clicking as if you were about to register. Look at rules e,g, and h.

[CentralMayhem]

ok my fish only lives in the salton sea. i cant get no freakin pics to load so someone just guess.

[guppy]

Desert pupfish (Cyprinodon maculanarius), I thought this was restricted to ca/sa cichlids. I not okay, If need to collect some pics, heheh. I will try to stay in the americas.

[CentralMayhem]

you got it guppy you guessed right!!!! BIG WINNER step right up and take the next shot at the GREAT FISH GUESSING GAME!!!!

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Your turn guppy...

[guppy]

How do I upload a picture to a post for this thread? I have it parked in my photo file here and ready to go but am now stuck. the pic is in my personal gallery titled guess what, how do I attach it here?

[dialphantom]

guppys a mod and he cant link pictures

[Peanut_Power]

" Then the first person to CORRECTLY name that cichlid, scientific name so there is no confusion, will get to post a new pic. of a different cichlid ! "

And yes....it is ONLY CA/SA Cichlids...so try and keep it that way....

[guppy]

guppys a mod and he cant link pictures
I never claimed to be computer literate, just sensble, helpful, and not full of crap, speaking of which, you are really beginning to tick me off.
Thanks vitally, could you send me a pm on how you did that when you get a chance?
Okay Peanut Power, I'll try to find some pics within the category, In the mean time how about doing my turn? I would like to hear some guesses on the N.A, native in the pic though.
Desert pupfish are neither cichlid nor from ca/sa.

[Vitaliy]

I never claimed to be computer literate, just sensble, helpful, and not full of crap, speaking of which, you are really beginning to tick me off.
:clap

[Peanut_Power]

MMM K!! I believe this is a CA cichlid.....so best of luck to yaz!

[CentralMayhem]

? seiboldi... not sure. GUPPY he is getting on my nerves too. :banhim: hahahah jk man.

[Peanut_Power]

Seiboldi...what? There is something that goes before it....lol

[guppy]

Cichlasoma Seiboldi? I would have guessed Cichlasoma intermedium.

[iheartfishies]

Next pic!!!

I don't know scientific names to save my life though.:(

[Peanut_Power]

lol


Its actually Tomocichla seiboldi...i think its actually a Costa Rican cichlid..but close enough...lol....its CM turn...have to wait for him...:P

[guppy]

lol


Its actually Tomocichla seiboldi...i think its actually a Costa Rican cichlid..but close enough...lol....its CM turn...have to wait for him...:P
I'll wait but I'm disappointed you don't want to take a stab at the fish in post # 61, it wasn't an easy picture to find.

[Peanut_Power]

its an North American native fish eh? Hmmm.....

[craig]

CHANCHITO

[craig]

Chiclasoma facetum

[guppy]

For which fish? give the post # please.

[CentralMayhem]

hey guppy you take over for the next pic all i can do is guess and post it wont let me post any pics in here it always says file size is too large

[guppy]

Ok , here goes,

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Apistogramma Trifasciata (Blue Varient)

common name: Striped apisto

[guppy]

Yep, to easy :D , your turn. As an aside care to guess the I.D. onthe native above?

SORRY, I got ahead of myself,...Right genus, wrong species and common name. I saw that the genus was right and answered without checking my notes. Very close.

[guppy]

Dammit, I just found the exact same pic posted for A. trifasciatum as was posted on another site for A.cacatuoides which is what I thought I was posting. I checked a couple more sites and while they are very close this pic is indeed the A. trifasiatum and not the slightly more colorful A. cacatuoides. My apologies for taking the pic from a site I did not double check. Nate_N_Nicole congratulations on your correct answer and It is your turn.

[Peanut_Power]

Nexy fish eh! :D

[mightykoreanboy]

can i butt in?
http://www2.nrm.se/ve/pisces/acara/images/ta_maca1.jpg

[guppy]

Why not? My guess is Geophagus rhabdotus (pearlstriped geophagus)

[guppy]

Still nate-n-natelie's turn

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Sorry I took so long guys... Heres an easy one... Atleast I think...

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Sorry didn't know pic was so small try this one.. same species different form of color.. Take that as your first clue, it comes in many different colors.. :thumbsup:

[guppy]

My guess for post# 86 is Cichlasoma grammodes (many pointed cichlid)

[CentralMayhem]

Petenia splendida

[Peanut_Power]

CM got it....post pic bro...

[guppy]

Petenia splendida pic#1 the upper one

Cichlasoma grammodes pic#2 the lower one

You sure it is the petenia? The pic doesn't match. The pic in my old Axelrod's shows a Petenia splendida that matches this one and lists it as a red snook

[Peanut_Power]

I suppose i could see the resemblaces...but the cichlids in post #85 and 86 are definately Petenia splendida...granted they are a bit different color morphs...:P

[guppy]

I can sure see that the body shape and mouth match, I have to stop relying on color patterns. At least this time I checked multiple sources, I got caught yesterday by a milabed cockatoo chiclid.

[CentralMayhem]

definitely a snook 100%. rock on peanut you post my next pic and ill continue guessing cause as usual i cant load any pics.

[Peanut_Power]

lol...need to teach yaz how to do that....:S...eesh...aight.....hold up....

[Peanut_Power]

Aight, here yaz go....feast your cichlid craving fangs into this bad boy...:P

[guppy]

I have no idea, even so I like this type of game because every time I go looking I am learning something new. :)

[Nate_N_Nicole]

actually there both Pentenia splendida you can tell buy looking at there face they have a flat pointed face... unlike the picture guppy brought up(the 2nd) but they are the same color easy to confuse... CM is the Winner :headbang2 Sorry took so long to reply... That sucks you can't load pics :swear:

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Good pic, I have no Idea...

[CentralMayhem]

alright peanut. Caquetia spectabile

[guppy]

alright peanut. Caquetia spectabile
I found these,,, they barely look like the same fish, It's going to take me years to learn these :grinyes:

[CentralMayhem]

might be another Caquetia spp. such as myersi? or something like that

[guppy]

I can't tell, lol, I've looked at at least a dozen pics and seen a dozen varients, It drives me nuts but I am a bit anal, lol.
This sp. has the face but a narrower body.

[Nate_N_Nicole]

This is a tough one... I'm look for pictures all over cant find nothing...

[CentralMayhem]

my only guess was one of the Caquetia spp. but now i am not sure we will have to wait for someone else i guess

[CentralMayhem]

maybe some sort of Herichthys or.....SCHIT!!!!!.... im stumped. im on a fish hunt now. hahahahaah

[Peanut_Power]

You got it your first guess CM..lol...its Caquetia myersi...took me forever to find a picture like that of it...hehe.....ur turn! Or since you can't post pictures..hehe..i default to Nate 'n' Nicole cuz he/she hasn't posted one yet...:P

[Peanut_Power]

Aight, so you guys were takin too long!! LOL! This one SHOULD be a little harder...:P

[guppy]

My first guess, threadfinned cichlid, the Acarichthys heckelii

[redtailfool]

Dammit im gettin my as kicked here. We should make a thread similar to
this about other fish ..

[guppy]

Try the lounge "guessing game" though I might have to restrict it to fish over 8".
So, am I right this time?

[CentralMayhem]

I KNEW IT WAS A Caquetia spp. for sure, well like 98% sure at least. till i had to start second guessing myself. I am pretty good at all central and south americans. hence the name CentralMayhem. Centrals are the BOMB in my book.

[mightykoreanboy]

my guess is heckeli also.

[guppy]

Hey there Mightykoreanboy, was your fish in post # 82 a Geophagus rhabdotus?

Now we got to wait for PP :( ....waiting...waiting...still waiting :hitting:

[guppy]

Well, since peanut power is missing in action I'm going to assume I was right for once, if not this post won't count.

[Peanut_Power]

Nailed it right on Guppy!! I'm gonna have to say urs is Retroculus lapifer? I know its a Retroculus though!! Retroculus xinguensis was my initial guess...but then i decided to check on lapifer...and bingo! :D

[Peanut_Power]

This'll be a good one....lol...tis SA cichlid.....thats all I'm gonna say! best of luck!!

[mightykoreanboy]

Hey there Mightykoreanboy, was your fish in post # 82 a Geophagus rhabdotus?

Now we got to wait for PP :( ....waiting...waiting...still waiting :hitting:

nope! and it aint geophagus either hehehe want me to post more pics?

[guppy]

Yay PEANUT! got it in one.
Mightykoreanboy, I'll be guessing on #82 but you need to wait your turn! You could go to the lounge and find the thread "guessing game" Post one there, it needs some one to start the game.

[guppy]

Peanut my guess on #116 is one of the checkerboard cichlids, either the Crenicara filamentosa (lyretailed checkerboard cichlid), or the Crenicara maculata (checkerboard cichlid), I can't see the tail well enough to decide which.

For mightykoreaboy, how about Apistogramma hippolytae? The Emporess dwarf cichlid.or the Thorichthys aureus

[Peanut_Power]

Nope, not a checkerboard....or anything like it. Crenicara is wrong family as well...lol..keep trying..:D

[mightykoreanboy]

nope and nope sorry guppy hehe anyways ill try to post it in the other thread hehe

[Peanut_Power]

Cmon peeps....lol....u can do it!

[SteveL91]

Teleocichla sp. IV "Gobio" - male if you want to get real particular :p

[Peanut_Power]

Nope...but you have been the closest yet!! :D Kudos to you! Teleocichla is right family! :D I was afriad I ws gonna have to give this one up...lol....keep tryin though....at least pretty sure its not the one you mentioned...never even seen pictures of that species....may look similar? yes?

[SteveL91]

Well, that's the only Teleocichla I found that had the red markings. Maybe it's listed under a different name elsewhere, but what I mentioned is how it's listed in the Aqualog. It's definitely a Teleocichla.

[Peanut_Power]

Mmmmk...so this was a bit of a hard one so I am just gonna give it to you SteveL91 cuz you were the only person who was close enough to even guess that it was even a type of Teleocichla! Props to you my man!! You get to post the next picture! Can't wait! BTW...it was Teleocichla centrarchus....anyway....post away bro!!

[guppy]

Yay Steve91, I have got to get newer refrence books, they don't even mention teleocichla. Lets see your pic.

[SteveL91]

http://www.cichlid-forum.com/photos/art_t_macantzatza_01.jpg

[Just1nK4ng]

pike cichlids

[SteveL91]

Dammit. Thought it was showing up. I have no idea how to get it up. Tried using the gallery and that didn't work either. :(

[guppy]

Your pic is there but if you want a step by step guide go to "frequently asked questions" forum and click the "feeding wild snails to loaches thread", I just learned how to do this very recently and I love it.

[SteveL91]

Hm, weird. It showed up right after I made the post, but not anymore. I dunno.

I'll check out that thread. Thanks!

[guppy]

For post picture#128 my guess isblue point flag cichlid, Aequidens coeruleopunctatus

[Peanut_Power]

Did you delete the pic from your comp after you posted? Maybe thats why it go poof...hmm...:S

[SteveL91]

For post picture#128 my guess isblue point flag cichlid, Aequidens coeruleopunctatus

Nope.

I also didn't save the pic; I just linked it with the img tags.

[guppy]

Cichlasoma alfari?

[SteveL91]

Nope.

Since there doesn't seem to be much interest, I'll toss up a hint: Peruvian mouth-brooder.

[Nate_N_Nicole]

wheres the pic????

[guppy]

wheres the pic????
Post 128 page 13

[Nate_N_Nicole]

It isn't there it has a little red x.... Weird, am I the only one who see's this??? :swear:

[guppy]

I see a picture but that might explain the lack of guesses.

[Nate_N_Nicole]

lol... That just might be it.... :ROFL:

[guppy]

I'll try to post his pic, bear with me.

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Thanks Guppy... Kinda looks like a Aequidens pulcher (Blue Acara) but maybe he is a little more elongated not sure but that is my guess...

[guppy]

I just got done going through the entire mongabay index of fish of Peru and looking at every cichlid in the damn country, and the only mouthbrooder that came close was the Tahuantinsuyoa macanzata (no common name listed) so I looked that up through ask jeeves and found this, heheheh,... I think I got it right :ROFL:
so here's my chosen fish.

[Peanut_Power]

That my friend looks like Caquetia spectable....:D!! Rapps has some in right now...and I am very very tempted to get them! :D

[SteveL91]

I think I got it right :ROFL:
so here's my chosen fish.

lol. Bingo!

[mightykoreanboy]

is that ang archocentrus centrarchus maybe?

[guppy]

To easy for ya, Peanut Power, Caquetia spectabil it is.
I just saw your post on the suggestion for a 150g after I picked this picture or I might have chosen something else. Put ya on the spot about dwarf pike cichlids did I? heheh.

[CentralMayhem]

we guessin on the Aequidens one or the Caquetia. my guess is Aequidens coeruleopunctatus or something. hahaha. not sure

[guppy]

Peanut beat you to it CM, the Caquetia.
On the tahuantinsuyoa I was cracking up over that not only did I find a good comparison picture, I found the exact same picture that Steve had posted.
Now we are waiting for PeanutP to post a fish.

[Peanut_Power]

woot...was waitin for the confirmations....:P...aight.....

[Peanut_Power]

YAY!! Found one! :D

[guppy]

My guess is Cichlasoma aureum/ reclassified as Thorichthys aureus, Golden Firemouth cichlid, an effective snail eater.

[w3arB3aR]

my guess is its a Thorichtys Helleri :)

[Peanut_Power]

w3arB3aR nailed it....sorry guppy...ur turn w3arB3aR....

[w3arB3aR]

guess this fish :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/w3arB3aR/satanoperca_leucosticta11.jpg

[Peanut_Power]

Hmmm....Sataneoperca for sure...not sure if its leustica or lilith though...not too familiar with the spangling on the faces...pretty sure that jurupari doesn't have very much spangling on the face....soo...i'll say....Sataneoperca lilith..

[SteveL91]

Hmmm....Sataneoperca for sure...not sure if its leustica or lilith though...not too familiar with the spangling on the faces...pretty sure that jurupari doesn't have very much spangling on the face....soo...i'll say....Sataneoperca lilith..

It's Satanoperca leucosticta .

[Peanut_Power]

I figured as much...lol...after lookin at pictures of lilith they don't have as much spangling on their faces as leucosticta...lol....I did name it though....:P....just not directly. I knew it was one of them....does that count? U got it Stevo....

[guppy]

I want to see whole fishies or I start posting pictures of bung holes.Or pictures like this,

[Nate_N_Nicole]

LOL!!!! Feel the same I couldn't guess because I couldn't see the body style... :swear: :thumbsup:

[SteveL91]

lol. Most of the Satanoperca are pretty easy to discern if you're able to see the whole fish. But, leucosticta is very unique with its facial spangling.

Someone else post a pic. It's clear I have no idea how to do it...

[Peanut_Power]

I love the challege of only havin part of the fish to ID it by....it'll make it easier for you to ID the fish later on if you see it in person. ya know, certain things to look for and the like. Bravo! I need to get some tail shots...LOL!! ah hahahaha!! Aight, I'll post the next one! :D

[guppy]

Peanut, if you post a picture of YOUR tail I'm going to tell your mother on you. HEHEH

[Peanut_Power]

riiiiiiiiiiiiiight..... http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/Peanut_Power/Me/bumm.jpg


Hehe

[Peanut_Power]

Here yaz go!! Wet ur noodles on this one!

[Peanut_Power]

Don't tell me I stumped you guys with this.....lol.....

[SteveL91]

Don't tell me I stumped you guys with this.....lol.....

Amphilophus rostratus

Try this one:
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b294/SteveL91/fish4.jpg

[Peanut_Power]

Crenicichla xingu...but not sure which one it is....its a female that for sure. Is it still alive? Got any better pictures of it? The xingus females all look so similar....its either I, II, or III...heheh...

[SteveL91]

III and yep, she's still alive. Took this picture right after acclimating the two of them. Not entirely sure they're male/female, but one (probably the one in the pic) took on the pitch black body and red belly shortly after getting into the tank. At the store, they were both showing (likely) stress patterning: you could only see the vertical barring, and the base color was a lot lighter.

[Peanut_Power]

Nice....driftwood is lookin to get two of these bad boys as well! Awesome!! Get the pics of the male!!! They should have distinct different coloration for sure. Awesome! Jealous am I!! I really need to get more pikes, but its sucha pain...so few around here! Have to order all mine online!! :(.....awesome! Post another picture please!! :D

[sleepyflight]

Pnut, I'm upset....totally too dark at that size to be a X I, I know you're better than that :grinyes: Wanna chance at having my X I still in FL?? Shipping cost only?? Offer only stands for you because of you special pike love....

[SteveL91]

Nice....driftwood is lookin to get two of these bad boys as well! Awesome!! Get the pics of the male!!! They should have distinct different coloration for sure. Awesome! Jealous am I!! I really need to get more pikes, but its sucha pain...so few around here! Have to order all mine online!! :(.....awesome! Post another picture please!! :D

To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if these were the fish driftwood was going to be getting. I had planned on waiting for the weekend, but I decided to head up there today, and I just couldn't leave without them. I'll expound in my other post.

[Peanut_Power]

hmmm....size? Male or Female? Xingus are pretty anal pikes....so i dunno...lemme think about it....lol. As for that ID on the pike, my female xingu I looked practically just like that except she had a brighter red abdomen and a pure white/silver streak in her dorsal. And since that fish was stressed from being caught, it was kinda hard to ID it....:P

[Peanut_Power]

To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if these were the fish driftwood was going to be getting. I had planned on waiting for the weekend, but I decided to head up there today, and I just couldn't leave without them. I'll expound in my other post.


Yeah, thats what i was wondering....hes in Denver though.......thats gonna bum him that someone beat him too it. I thought he had already paid for them though.....interesting...hopefuly he can still get some!

[sleepyflight]

Ok, ok :D but PM me if you want to see about my offer.

[SteveL91]

I have very little doubt that they're Xingu IIIs. They both look exactly like the juvi. pic in the Aqualog. I thought there was a chance they were Xingu IIs, but after looking at the pics, I know they're not.

If he was ordering them from a store in Hillside, NJ.... I beat him to them. They were still in the "main store" so I dunno. I'm trying to figure out how to get home the "pair" (I think they're both females... both have the white line on the dorsal) of "Tapajos Reds."

[Peanut_Power]

Not fair...just simply not fair....:(....I want more pikes...but no options......unless I buy online.....*sigh*....aight, I'll post the next pic. if ur not gonna...

[Peanut_Power]

You guys better guess this one quick or I'll forget the name...lol.....

[SteveL91]

lol. I'm just hoping everything will be okay when they're checked on tomorrow. I was planning on waiting a few days to a week before posting anything about them... just in case. Alas, I was too excited. The damn tank looks like a driftwood jungle now.

[SteveL91]

A. altifrons?

[Peanut_Power]

nope...tis a Amphilophus though....i believe...it had under two names when i looked it up....

[Peanut_Power]

Heres a better picture...thats last one was kinda hard and vague...lol....same fish though...:P

[w3arB3aR]

sexy sev....mmmm.....i love this thread...so many pimpin cichlids!

[d20monsteroscar20]

Is it a Apistogramma uaupesi (Rio Uaupes Apisto)?

[w3arB3aR]

apistogramma veijita?

[SteveL91]

Nope on both accounts. If you check the link location, you'll get a huge clue. This is another fish that I'm hoping to be able to pick up within the next few months.

[Peanut_Power]

all i see is a red x....lol.....in a white box...:P

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Apistogramma Elizabethae

[guppy]

This one? Steve is AWOL, looks like the fish to me, why don,t N+N go ahead and post, if we are wrong he can tell us later.

[CentralMayhem]

i have an idea. lets get off the dwarfs and get to the MONSTERS!!! hahahah jk. thats only because i have limited experience with the dwarfs and have no luck or desire to look up some literature if my first guess is wrong. i know for sure its an Apistogramma spp. cant tell you anything besides that. someone guess and post a bigger fish PLEASE!!! hahahaha

[SteveL91]

[CentralMayhem]

alright nateNnicole. you post again. i cant get pics to come up. you post ill continue guessing

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Okay CM here you go sorry took so long to get back to you!!!!

[guppy]

Here goes nothing, I'm guessing a chocolate cichlid, which was listed as (Cichlasoma temporale) then was listed as (Heros temporale) and is now listed as (Hypselecara temporalis) and even if it is not I still wish they would just pick a name and stick with it even if the name is wrong, dammit.

[CentralMayhem]

Cichlasoma bimaculatus the port cichlid?

[w3arB3aR]

aequidens pulcher?

[CentralMayhem]

Cichlasoma bimaculatus is the Port cichlid right

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Nope sorry guys keep trying...

[d20monsteroscar20]

a colorless Jack dempsey?

[AmazonPredator]

Aequidens sp. 'something'....the rarest acara this side of the Amazon River.

[guppy]

Still looking :(

[guppy]

I give up.

[w3arB3aR]

[CentralMayhem]

[driftwood]

i'm going to take a guess and say an Aequidens Pallidus.

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Well in that case sence every one gives up on to the next fish.... I will give submit a new picture asap....

[CentralMayhem]

where s it at. hurry up PLEASE!!! im going through withdrawls. hahahahahaha

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Okay here yo guys go!!! This on should be fairly easy but its not full grown so be careful what you guess...

[Nate_N_Nicole]

OH YAH!!! and the answer to the last fish was...... Aequidens Patricki

[CentralMayhem]

thats one of those red headed midas huh. Amphilophus citrinellum.

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Congrats you are the winner!!!! I figured it might have been to easy... :thumbsup:If you cant put up pics I would suggest letting someone who hasent put one up yet try...

[He_Man_81]

[w3arB3aR]

herichtys rio salto?

[toxicfish]

herichtys rio salto?

sorry no cigar

[w3arB3aR]

herichthys labridens?

[toxicfish]

herichthys labridens?
nope

I will tell u it is herichthys

[guppy]

I got it, I thought it was a Herichthys geddesi (Cazones) as refered to in www.cichlidae.com, but when I was checking the pics I found this photo by W. DeProost and it matches so I name your fish the (Tah Dah!) Herichthys deppi.

[toxicfish]

detective guppy :clap :headbang2

[guppy]

Okay here is a pic,

[CentralMayhem]

what the hell is that. my fish recognize that as food. too small i have no clue. i need monsters

[guppy]

Your getting lazy CM, this thread started with the restrictions of cichlid-CA/SA only, no size restrictions were mentioned, and there are not that many that are true monsters, here is one just for you,

[w3arB3aR]

the first pic i think is an apistogramma agassizii
the second pic i think is a dovii :D

[SteveL91]

The dwarf cichlid is Taeniacara candidi and i'd have to agree with dovii for the second.

[guppy]

Nope and nope, to be fair I just put the second one there to give Central Mayhem a giggle, If you got it from that pic I would be flabbergasted.
I can't really say that this picture is much better but you can see where the eye belongs. ID eithe fish to win.

[Peanut_Power]

Vieja zonatus...at least the face looked like it...might actually be Vieja hartwegi or regani.....not quite sure...but i'm gonna stick wit zonatus. Oh...my bad...they are now Paratheraps...:P...Paratheraps zonatus

[guppy]

I was fetching a pic of the second one while you were posting SteveL, candidi it is, The other one was a Herichthys zonatus.

[SUCRAM]

THAT LOOKS LIKE A SOME KIND OF BASS

[guppy]

Damn, PeanutP, you get that from just the eye? SteveL was first on IDing the cadidi pic though so it is his turn.

[Peanut_Power]

Wow! I actually got that right from the face picture?! Shweet!!

[Peanut_Power]

Yeah, I got it just from the facial colors actually....zonatus is one of the few Vieja(Paratheraps) that actually has a bright irridecant blue face....awesome fish...possibly my fav. Vieja...:P...go stevo!!

[guppy]

I think they are changing the name on the zonatus every other day, I can't keep up.
